Chapter 403 Chapter 403

"Mr., you look a little embarrassed. You should be a newcomer to the jewelry and jade industry." Xu was a little anxious when he saw Ah San's appearance, or maybe it was Jia Sidao and Ah San who were at the birthday banquet. The above move seemed a bit abrupt, the young man who was accosted by Ah San greeted Ah San with a funny smile. It wasn't until this time that Jia Sidao got rid of watching the faces of everyone at the birthday banquet, and turned to look at the man next to Ah San. He was a young man in his twenties and about thirty years old. The son was in his hand, holding a glass of red wine, looking at Jia Sidao and Ah San with a lot of smiles.

Jia Sidao couldn't help but blush.I don't know what Ah San and the other party were talking about. It seemed that the other party could see Ah San's strangeness at a glance. However, Ah San seemed indifferent, and responded with a smile: "Hey, Dude really has good eyesight, you can tell at a glance that I am a novice in the jewelry and jade industry!" "So, brother, are you really the one?" The other party seemed very happy that he was right, and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't like banquets very much. I just came here to get to know you a lot.”

"Yes, buddy, you are a bit unkind." Ah San hurriedly became more acquainted with her tone of voice and address, and said, "It turns out that you are fooling us, but we are from other places on purpose." You rushed over, isn't it a bit discriminatory for you to treat us like this?" "How can it be?" The other party replied. "It's true that I look at the two of you a little strangely. It's just that I don't participate in this kind of banquet very much. I don't see many people at ordinary times..." At the end, the young man on the other side was a little confused. He laughed heartlessly.

Perhaps, in his mind, as long as young people are new to the jewelry and jade industry, right? Just when Jia Sidao was thinking this way, the other party explained: "My father is a member of the Jewelry Council here, so I have met most of the famous people in the industry. I can be considered very familiar with some young people around them, but I haven't seen them very much." "I've already said that we are from other places. Could it be that Zhejiang is so big that you can know all the young people in the industry?" Ah San said a little angrily. "Don't we know each other now?" The other party stretched out his hand and said, "My surname is Yang, and my single name is Fan, the sail of a sailing boat. Speaking of which, it has something to do with today's birthday man. Yang's. I don't know the surnames of the two gentlemen?"

Very simple words, but invisibly narrowed the distance with Ah San and Jia Sidao.Ah San was also taken aback, as if she didn't quite believe that she could meet "Yang"'s family just by striking up a conversation.After introducing each other, Yang Fan looked at Jia Sidao a little more curiously. "Why, is there something wrong with my clothes?" Jia Sidao was curious. "Hehe, that's not true." Yang Fan said with a smile, "In the past two days, I just heard that there is a 'green, fat, red and thin' emerald shop opened in Linhai, and the standard of the things there is very high. Tall. Besides, I also heard that the owner of the shop has a very strange name. It turned out to be 'Jia Sidao'. Could it be you, brother?"

Jia Sidao and Ah San looked at each other, Jia Sidao touched his nose and said, "It's really me." "That's a big congratulations." The smile on Yang Fan's face was very natural, as if it came from the bottom of his heart, "The reputation of this shop is very good, I've heard rumors from here in Lin'an Well. If it wasn't for Mr. Yang's birthday banquet recently, I might as well go to Linhai to have a look." "Oh, brother Yang is also a jade lover?" Jia Sidao asked.For young people, especially young people like Yang Fan who can appear at Mr. Yang's birthday banquet, who like jadeite, Jia Sidao has a lot of affection.Undoubtedly, this is Ai Wu Ji Wu Nei, who Jia Sidao loves jadeite.

"It's not too bad." Yang Fan pondered for a while and said, "To be specific, I'm actually more interested in betting on stones. Whether it's betting on jadeite or betting on chicken blood stones, it's still a bit of a skill. But , Compared with Jia Xiong's achievements, I seem to pale in comparison." "It's hard to say that." Jia Sidao said, "Based on brother Yang's speech, I think his accomplishments in gambling stones will not be easy." "Hehe, let's not talk about this..." Yang Fan changed the subject and said: "I haven't opened my own store yet, and I don't have any real wealth. , anyway, I just don’t have the life to keep gambling. It’s not like Brother Jia, after a few months of gambling, it’s an emerald shop above the standard...” After such compliments, Yang Fan is The words changed, "However, when I just came in just now, I was very interested in seeing several friends who participated in the 'Doubao' in the register at the door, some of them were familiar and some were not. , but, there is a relatively unfamiliar surname on it with the character 'Jia', is it you, Brother Jia?"

"That's right, it's Xiao Jia." Before Jia Sidao could answer, Ah San interjected, "I wrote it down, I think, since we're all here, we should join in the fun, right?" "You two are really very elegant." Yang Fan looked at Jia Sidao and Ah San's eyes, suddenly became a little expectant, and asked in a low voice. "Could it be that Brother Jia brought the top-quality rough jadeite here?" "How to say?" Jia Sidao's heart moved, and he said to himself, finally he got to the point.Ah San and Yang Fan strike up a conversation, isn't it just for such news.Of course, Jia Sidao appreciated Ah San's first strike-up at the birthday banquet, and the first person he chose was able to clearly know the way of "Doubao".While asking, he gave Ah San a look of good work, Ah San also smiled knowingly, and looked at Yang Fan with some expectation.

However, Yang Fan's reaction made Jia Sidao and Ah San feel bitter for a while. "Hasn't Brother Jia heard of 'Doubao'?" His tone, his expression, seemed to be seeing something strange. "No." Ah San hurriedly explained, "We just don't quite understand the rules here in Lin'an." It's really a pity not to be a magic stick. "So that's the case." Yang Fan nodded after hearing the words, seemed to be thinking deeply, and then asked, "Then, Brother Jia also brought the rough emerald stone?" When Jia Sidao heard the words, he shook his head: let alone rough emerald stones, they are ordinary chicken blood stones and other "gambling stones". Jia Sidao didn't bring anything with him. If it is, it is the clay inkstone that Ah San and I just received when it was close to noon.

If it was an ordinary thing, Jia Sidao and Ah San would naturally choose to store it directly in the hotel in Lin'an. However, Ah San actually loved the two pieces of porcelain he had just received very much, almost for a moment. Don't let it go, besides, when the two of them came here to celebrate their birthdays, they were simply equipped with some ordinary small gifts, anyway, they had to bring things on hand, not bad for such two pieces of porcelain and a piece of clay inkstone. Therefore, Jia Sidao and Ah San also took their belongings with them. "I didn't bring the rough jadeite here." Jia Sidao explained, feeling that Yang Fan had been emphasizing the need to bring the "raw jadeite" over. Jia Sidao thought, this "doubao" should be the same as what he usually sees. The competition of jewelry and jade is somewhat similar, at least, that's what it means literally.So, subconsciously, Jia Sidao couldn't help adding, "However, I brought some other things here. It's just that Ah San mentioned my name and suggested that I participate in the 'Doubao'. It was also a temporary decision." Yes, until now, I still don't quite understand how the 'Battle of Treasures' is carried out, and how is the winner determined?"

"That's right." Ah San said. "At first, I thought that this 'Doubao' was the same as our rules, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought that I was here to celebrate my birthday anyway, so I wanted to join in the fun. But now, listening to Brother Yang When you put it this way, we feel that there seems to be some mystery behind it. If we win or lose, what will the result be?" Speaking of this, Ah San deliberately sighed, and said, "It seems that what I did just now was a bit too reckless! I don't know if there will be an embarrassing scene for the two of us later... ..." "Hehe, that's not going to happen." Yang Fan said with a smile, "Similar 'Doubao' is mainly popular in Guangdong, and our Lin'an side encounters some lively events. , it will be held several times. I still remember that the last time "Doubao" appeared more than a year ago, after the jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital. People here, in terms of chicken blood stone Some treasures came out, so a folk treasure fight was held, the standard was not very high. However, it was more lively. Moreover, all the people who came to participate in the "treasure fight" were spontaneous. The whole scene, composed of several A reputable and authoritative expert will judge, and in the end the winner will be determined by the actual auction price, and the winner will also get all the participation fees paid in advance by the participants." "This, isn't it similar to betting on stones underground?" Jia Sidao listened, and after listening, he understood a little bit.Ganqing still needs to pay a certain entry fee when participating in the 'Doubao'.Moreover, all entry fees will also be taken by the final winner. "You can't say that." Yang Fan obviously knew about the underground stone gambling, so he couldn't help but say, "Let's say it's the 'Doubao' last time. First of all, it's not necessarily the type, some are porcelain, some are calligraphy and painting, of course, This has something to do with the fact that the treasure fight was a private event, but the most mainstream one is still based on chicken blood stones. Among them, a Tibetan friend won because of chicken blood stones, and finally won a prize of 200,000 yuan. Secondly, different from the underground stone gambling, in the end, almost all the entries will be taken away by the winners, but there is no such rule in the "Doubao" here .” "Hehe, such a rule is not bad." Jia Sidao muttered to himself.If it is really the same as underground stone gambling, it is really not suitable to hold a "treasure fight" in a place like a birthday banquet. "This time tonight, it was held because of the initiative of several friends of Mr. Yang. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a private event. As long as you think that the treasures in your hands are of high value One million, and it is limited to jewelry and jade, you can participate. Moreover, once you participate, you agree to start the auction with a reserve price of one million. If someone bids on the spot, and the price exceeds one million, then, It can be traded and transferred. This is the link before the 'Doubao', which we call 'Xianbao'." Yang Fan explained.Then, he took a sip of red wine.It seems that he is reminiscing the taste of the red wine in the glass, or he is just feeling emotional about what he just said. "It's a pity that I don't have any timeable things on hand. Otherwise, I can really participate in such activities." Yang Fan said, "If it's yours, it won a high price during the auction." Then, after the auction is over, the three treasures sold at the highest price will be selected on the spot, namely gold, silver, and bronze awards, and additional bonuses, which are also 300,000, 200,000, and 100,000 Ten thousand." "Is there any bonus available?" Ah San asked curiously. "That's right!" Yang Fan nodded, "These bonuses were all raised in advance by a few friends of Mr. Yang, and it can be regarded as adding excitement to the old friend's birthday celebration." "The bonus of 600,000 is really generous." Ah San said with a smile.If it is in other industries, perhaps 600,000 is indeed very good.However, as far as the antique business is concerned, when it comes to those collectors, hundreds of thousands of funds are also in line with the reason for everyone to celebrate Mr. Yang's birthday. Although such an amount is not a lot in the real sense, it is still considered a favor, isn't it?Moreover, the price of a treasure is more than one million. You can receive bonuses from several old experts in the organizer, so that your own things can shine, whether it is for this thing or It's his own fame, and it's also a good publicity, right? "I heard Brother Yang said just now that there are quite a few people who come to participate in the 'Doubao'. If it is only for the 600,000 bonus, I am afraid it is not so attractive. Right?" Jia Sidao thought more than Ah San thought, although Yang Fan did say some basic information about "Doubao", but there are still many inadequacies in the specific details place. Just like those who participated in the "Doubao", they will certainly not just for such a few bonuses, but in the "Doubao", will there be certain people who come to celebrate birthdays to participate in the auction of each item, Or, is it possible for these things participating in the "treasure fight" to show their collection background in Lin'an by the forces of all parties? "It's natural. If it's just such a gold award of 300,000 yuan, with your brother Jia's family background, would you care about it?" Yang Fan also looked at Jia Sidao with a smile, and then said He deliberately looked back and forth at Jia Sidao's body, as if he was looking for something. "Does this 'Doubao' have anything to do with Xiao Jia's appearance?" Ah San couldn't help teasing from the side, "Brother Yang, don't tell me that you have that kind of I really like it." "Ah San, you are joking." Yang Fan smiled embarrassingly, and said, "However, what you said earlier is really not wrong. Not to mention that it has something to do with Brother Jia's appearance, but it is also related to someone's appearance. .” "Oh?" This time, even Jia Sidao became curious. "Don't you two really know the reason?" Yang Fan looked at Jia Sidao and Ah San, who seemed to be really stunned when they spoke, and couldn't help being very surprised, "If you don't know, then why don't you know?" Why did you participate in the 'Double Treasure' session, ah...you two, it's not true that you are going for the prize money, right?" It seems that it is for the bonus of 300,000 yuan, but at an old man's birthday banquet, the fight for beauty made Yang Fan in front of him look very disdainful.Especially Yang Fan knows how much Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" is worth. If it is a down-and-out young man with such a collection worth more than one million yuan, there is no other way to find it, and if he wants to get a hold of "Shi Zhixuan" at the birthday banquet of Mr. Yang , is still reasonable.However, for Jia Sidao's identity, it is a bit surprising. If there are those present, such as Jia Sidao, who have superb jade ornaments, and come to participate in the "Battle of Treasures" with a bracelet like glass emperor green, then they are not here to join in the fun, but here Show off. Therefore, Yang Fan's exaggerated and weird eyes made Jia Sidao feel a little uncomfortable all over his body, so he could only smile wryly and say, "I really don't know. If I had known earlier, now , I will not come to ask you Brother Yang." As he spoke, Jia Sidao gave Ah San an annoyed look.If Ah San hadn't been in the limelight when she entered the door over there, how could such a thing happen now? "Hehe, don't blame me for this." Ah San put herself aside and said, "I'm also thinking of you, Xiao Jia." As he spoke, Ah San looked at Yang Fan playfully, and suddenly He asked, "Brother Yang, aren't the people who came to participate in the 'Doubao' this time all young?" "Yes." Yang Fan nodded naturally. "That's it." Ah San's eyes lit up suddenly, she patted Jia Sidao's shoulder instead, and said, "Xiao Jia, don't say that brothers won't help you, this time, I'm I've helped you once." "What are you talking about? How can you help me?" Although Ah San emphasized the word "ruthless", Jia Sidao didn't care, at least judging from Ah San's expression, it was still very serious. optimistic.When Jia Sidao thought about it, Ah San probably understood why so many people came to participate in the "Battle of Treasures". "I said I'll help you, so I'll help you. If you don't believe me, I'll let you down." Ah San got up a bit rascally, she knew it, but she didn't say it out, as if she just wanted to see Jia Sidao's anxiety. "Hey, don't you tell me?" Jia Sidao suddenly glanced at Ah San strangely, and said lightly, "Since you don't tell me, then when the 'Doubao' starts, I'll leave it to you Well. Anyway, I didn’t bring anything here.” After speaking, he pretended to have nothing to do with me, which made Ah San stare. And Yang Fan on the side, after seeing the conversation between Ah San and Jia Sidao, also believed in his heart that the two people in front of him really didn't know the biggest purpose of "Doubao" tonight .Following Jia Sidao's words, Yang Fan said: "Brother Jia, if you really don't want to participate, it's not impossible." "Oh? Really?" Jia Sidao was surprised, "Let me just say, how can a spontaneously formed 'Doubao' meeting stipulate that those who sign up must participate?" "Hey, that's for sure." Ah San said from the side at this time, "If I remember correctly, if you don't want to participate in the 'Doubao' for the time being, as long as you recognize your name when your name is called It’s fine if the price is less than one million, it’s nothing more than rolling your eyes and making some jokes.” After saying these words, Jia Sidao's expression darkened in an instant. "I said, Ah San, you already know about 'Doubao'. Did you do it on purpose just now?" Jia Sidao couldn't help raising his voice a little. "That's right." Ah San also nodded, and said, "At the very beginning, I wasn't sure. But now, after Brother Yang's explanation, I'm still thinking about it." , how should you thank me then?...Do you think so, Brother Yang?" When he said this, Ah San blinked at Yang Fan, and Yang Fan looked at Jia Sidao again with a smile on his face.While watching, he nodded: "Yes, it's pretty good." This made Jia Sidao confused. However, just when Jia Sidao felt that he didn't want to take care of Ah San and Yang Fan, Yang Fan explained directly: "Most of the people participating in the 'Doubao' tonight are young people. The most important reason is that Mr. Yang's daughter, Yang Siyi." "Miss Yang?" In Jia Sidao's mind, an image of a seductive woman with wheat-colored skin but full of red lips appeared involuntarily. "However, this is private news, it's not easy for the two of you to put it on the table directly." Yang Fan said, "As San guessed, many people are here for Miss Yang. She is waiting to be married, and she is also the heart and treasure of Mr. Yang. With the wealth and status of the Yang family and Miss Yang's outstanding beauty, there are many young people in Lin'an in recent years. Junjie's pursuit. Think about it, at Mr. Yang's birthday banquet, how could these guys with excess hormone secretion be let go?" "It's really like that." Jia Sidao muttered. "Hey, Xiao Jia. You should thank me now, right?" Ah San said with a smile. "Thank you for being so big." Jia Sidao stared at Ah San speechlessly, and said, "You should bring me a collection worth over one million first, so that I can participate. " "Uh, two, listen to me..." Yang Fan looked at Jia Sidao and Ah San helplessly, and said, "Could it be that you two really didn't prepare anything, just signed on the roster directly?" Want to participate in the name of 'Dou Bao'?" "Yes." Jia Sidao nodded. "Yeah." Ah San also nodded, but better than Jia Sidao, Ah San also deliberately explained, "It's just that it's not always like this. We brought a few It’s just that at that time, I didn’t think that only the collections of ‘jewelry and jade’ can come to fight treasures, I can only blame myself for not being clear about the rules.” Of course, Ah San said so, as for whether to believe it or not, that is Yang Fan's own business.You know, before Yang Fan's explanation, Ah San and Jia Sidao didn't even know what this "doubao" was... Looking at Yang Fan's silence, he looked very speechless to Jia Sidao and Ah San, and then looked at Ah San who also shrugged his shoulders directly, expressing his helpless expression, Jia Sidao's mind was full of words. I started to wonder if it's time to say that I don't have enough money and just give up? In this way, shame aside, Jia Sidao wanted to show his favor to Mr. Yang at the birthday banquet, not only to repay Yang Siyi's favor, but also to fight for "green, fat, red and thin" and "green, fat, red and thin" Shi Zhixuan's purpose of cooperation is that there is absolutely no chance. All of a sudden, Jia Sidao seemed to feel the existence of the clay inkstone that he put together with Ah San in his backpack. Jia Sidao's expression, which was still a little worried, became much more relaxed in an instant. !
