Chapter Thirty-One

Seeing Yang Jing still stunned, Boss Huang smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, you don't have to be embarrassed. Maybe you don't know that it's really a pleasure for me to know you today. I am just like this. When I look at the person I like to communicate with him. If I don't like, I don't bother to pay attention to you. As for you, I just happened to be the person I look at the person I look at. So, I will give you a worthless item for free, and you don't have to feel any psychological pressure. The things in this store are mine, I will give you whoever I like. Besides, the things I give you are not valuable, so you can just take them back and play with them."

Lao Huang's words made Yang Jing even more uneasy.

It seems that Lao Huang really wants to give him something, not just talk about it. It would be too unreasonable if he still gets a bargain in this situation.

My grandfather often taught himself that although people in the industry are proud of picking up bargains, they should also determine the situation. Some leaks can be picked up, but some leaks can not be picked up, so they should be decided based on the actual situation. Of course, more importantly, you should be at your disposal!

Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but ask himself, under what circumstances should we find a bargain and under what circumstances should we not find a bargain?

Obviously, the big leak I picked up in the Valdy Castle some time ago made me feel comfortable and had no psychological burden, especially the butler John actually dared to ask the police to invite him to have coffee, so there was naturally no psychological burden to pick up the leaks in his house.

But the old Huang in front of him is obviously different from the Vardy family. Although he didn't know him before, he is really good to him today.

If you still get a bargain in this situation, you will feel unreasonable!

Yang Jing, who has been with his grandfather in the antique industry since he was a child, naturally understands many of the statements in this industry. For example, there is a recognized standard for doing things in this industry, that is, "a thick face and a dark heart!"

A few four words directly point out the core of this industry. If you can't do these two points, it is difficult to become famous in the industry. Only those guys with thick skin and dark hearts can be successful in this industry.

Although it is a bit cruel to say this, the facts are there.

In this industry, except for those who have real skills, most of the people who have made a name for themselves, have made a fortune by relying on their faces and being unfaithful. In fact, even those people have done more or less some unfaithful things.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Jing had seen his grandfather do such things several times. Grandpa is really a good old man. In the antique circle in Tianqu City, he is definitely a recognized good old man. But even a good old man like grandpa has done such a thing?

A thick face and a dark heart are a hurdle that no one in the antique industry can avoid!

Similarly, my grandfather once said that everything is as good as you want. Even if you have a thick face and a dark heart, you must be as good as you want.

Before, Yang Jing didn't understand what my grandfather meant, but today, he seemed to understand something.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing made a secret decision in his heart.

"Old Huang, are you really sure you want to give this thing to me for free?" Since she had made a decision in her heart, Yang Jing immediately felt much more relaxed and asked Lao Huang half-jokingly.

Old Huang glared, as if he was dissatisfied with Yang Jing's words.

"What? My old Huang also spitted out his saliva and fell on the ground, which was a pit. Since I said I would give it to you for free, I'll give it to you for free!"

Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'm not as respectful as I'm better obedient. But Lao Huang, I can't just ask for this thing in my hand for nothing. I'll change it."

Old Huang was stunned. Yang Jing didn't give him a chance to speak. He held the black "broken stone" in his hand and walked to the small ancient shelf under the western wall. He picked up a pen with a price of 2,800 pounds and said, "Old Huang, if you want to give it, just give it to me."

Old Huang was stunned again. Looking at the brush washing, the muscles on his face trembled, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give this brush washing to you."

Seeing that Lao Huang was very distressed, he still insisted on giving him the brush to wash, Yang Jing felt that his decision just now was right.

This pen washing is not a valuable thing, it is just a folk kiln during the Qianlong period. If it were in China, such a pen washing would cost about 14,500 yuan. Although Lao Huang’s price here is 2,800 pounds, it is not very high. After all, it is London, not China.

Yang Jing smiled, washed the pen and placed it on the antique shelf, and then said to Lao Huang: "Old Huang, did you say the batch of goods you went through six years ago lose money?"

Although he couldn't figure out why Yang Jing asked this, he nodded.

Yang Jing said: "Old Huang, you didn't lose money in that batch of goods. On the contrary, you made a lot of money. Look, this thing in my hand is enough to make you three times the money."

Looking at Lao Huang's disbelief, Yang Jing didn't think it was offended. He continued, "Lao Huang, I'm afraid you haven't seen what the object in my hand is yet? I'll tell you now that if I didn't miss it, the stone in my hand should be a Duan inkstone that has been old, but this Duan inkstone was deliberately made like this, so you didn't see it."

Hearing Yang Jing say this, Old Huang said in disbelief: "Xiao Yang, you are coaxing me to play, are you? Just such a black broken stone, it turns out to be a Duan inkstone?"

Yang Jing nodded and asked, "Old Huang, do you have tools like carving knives here? Also, you'd better bring a basin of clean water. I'll find a way to see if I can remove the things outside this Duan inkstone, so that you will know if this thing is a treasure."

Lao Huang hurried to the second floor. After a while, he walked down with a tool bag. Yang Jing found a carving knife from the tool bag, carefully carved two knives outside the Duan inkstone. He found that the layer of things wrapped outside was not as hard as expected, so he nodded.

After Lao Huang brought a basin of clear water over, Yang Jing put the Duan inkstone directly in the water and said, "It will be much easier to soak it for a while and then remove those things. Don't worry, the inkstone is not afraid of soaking. As long as it is not soaked in the sea water, even if it is soaked for decades, it will not damage the inkstone."

After the inkstone was placed in the water, the basin of clear water began to turn turbid. After soaking for more than 20 minutes, Yang Jing then took the inkstone up again, and the inkstone was very different.

Yang Jing found the hard-bristled brush from the tool bag and started to wash the inkstone. Without much effort, the layer of wrapping outside the inkstone was cleaned by the hard-bristled brush.

Finally, what appeared before the two of them was a dark and shiny inkstone about 18 cm long, 15 cm wide and 4 cm thick.

This inkstone looks very much like a human palm. The inkstone part in the middle is a standard circle. At first glance, it looks very much like a black sun.

The inkstone, inkstone, inkstone edge and other parts around the inkstone are carved with extremely exquisite sea ripples, and even the inkstone pools have large sea ripples.

All the sea ripples surround the inkstone in the middle, allowing the inkstone to look from the front, and a sea surrounded by a huge sunrise.

This type of inkstone has a name among ancient inkstones, which is called "Haitian Rising Sun", also called "Haibo Rising Sun".

Old Huang was obviously a veteran in the industry. When he saw the appearance of this inkstone, he immediately said in surprise: "This is a sea and sky sun inkstone..."

Yang Jing did not speak, but turned over the inkstone. Sure enough, there was a regular script inscription on the back of the inkstone: "It is neither square nor round, nor carved or carved. It is a little bit grinding, and it is not aware of virtue. It is like gold smelting, and jade is free from purity. Duanzhou is so talented and outstanding, and it is a gentleman who is happy in a room." The two regular characters "Dianming" are signed. (PS: This inscription was originally the inscription on the inkstone of Yudian's "Diantian Yipin Duan Inkstone". I borrowed it here and do not investigate it.)

When Lao Huang saw this inscription, his eyes immediately stared straight and said stammeringly: "This, is this actually the Duan inkstone made of Yudian? My God..."

Yang Jing smiled and didn't say anything, but his heart was extremely happy, and his body seemed to have been cleaned from the inside out.

Grandpa said it well, everything goes as you like.

Yang Jing finally understood some of the meanings of this sentence.

Some things, do what you do and don't do...
