Chapter 292: The Dream of Eternal Life

When Gu Jiangang saw his son Gu Zhonghuai, grandson Gu Yuan, and Mr. Wang, and Mr. Song were all suspicious, and immediately handed over the small jade carving in his hand carefully.

The first thing I received was Mr. Wang, an old friend of the Gu family. He was in his fifties and was in his prime. His eyes were much better than Gu Jiangang. He saw something special in his hand with his naked eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked Gu Jiangang for a magnifying glass, and then he slowly looked at it carefully.

When Mr. Wang saw this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. The more he looked at him, the more he loved him. Later, he saw envy in his eyes and praise in his mouth.

"This... this jade carving should be a jade carving." Mr. Wang sighed, "I only saw it in my life. This jade carving carved so many characters and scenery on this volume that is not much larger than the nail. Moreover, the characters are vivid and can be seen clearly under the magnifying glass. It is really a bit more, and a little less. A masterpiece, priceless, baby, Jibao!"

Mr. Wang's series of praise made the people around him move. Gu Jiangang's son Gu Zhonghuai immediately took the jade carving into his hand and looked at it with a magnifying glass.

Seeing this, Gu Zhonghuai couldn't help but say shocked: "This... Dad, this is the birthday picture of the five girls!"

When Gu Zhonghuai saw the scene on the micro sculpture under the magnifying glass, he immediately shouted. There was a painting of five girls paying birthdays in their living room. It was a fine work bought by Gu Zhonghuai's elder brother Gu Zhongnian for HK$4.75 million a few years ago. It was written by Chen Dazhang, a painter in the Qing Dynasty.

Gu Zhonghuai himself is a very smart business person, but he doesn't know much about antique cultural relics and calligraphy. The reason why he is familiar with this painting is because he sees it in the living room every day. The painting is three meters long and one meter five meters horizontally. On the picture, the expressions of the five women and the five husbands appear vividly and have different expressions. The sophomore two, four, five women are rich and arrogant and show-off on the paper. The three women and their husbands are poor and simple, holding a blue boy and longevity peach, and the embarrassing look of being despised by light gifts is also vividly vivid.

This painting is seen every day, so Gu Zhonghuai was deeply impressed. He held a magnifying glass and looked at the jade microcarving carefully. Then he realized that every figure and scene on the microcarving were exactly the same as that painting. Although Gu Zhonghuai didn't understand the carving technique, he understood that a sculptor with superb skills not only had to be superb in carving skills, but also had to know painting. The painting technique was also superb, and both were ready to carve a good work.

The jade micro-carving and the characters are exactly the same as the real paintings in the living room. The workmanship is definitely not inferior to Chen Dazhang, but Chen Dazhang will definitely not be able to make this thing. Even if it is a painting, Chen Dazhang cannot draw it with such a subtle area. So, the painting skills of this sculptor are comparable to Chen Dazhang, but the carving skills and micro-carving skills are beyond the reach of Chen Dazhang!

When Gu Zhonghuai was stunned, Mr. Song and Gu Yuan also took the jade carvings into their hands and watched them one after another, and were all surprised, especially Mr. Wang, Mr. Song and Gu Jiangang. They are rich and powerful. In addition to being idle, rich people usually like to buy some cultural relics to understand ancient cultures to cultivate their sentiments, or to be pretentious and elegant, playing with antiques. To be honest, the most important thing is to have money, and secondly, they can talk about technology. If you don’t have money, how can you play with antiques? These things can be priced at millions, which are not something that ordinary people can afford. If you don’t have money, you can’t afford it!

Looking at the ancient imitation micro-carving masters, Mr. Wang, Mr. Song, and Gu Jiangang all searched in their respective minds, but they couldn't imagine which work it was, because among the micro-carving masters they knew and knew, none of them could do this!

Especially the owner Yang Jikang in the painting was holding a book in his hand, and Yang Jiankang held the book in one hand and stroked his beard with the other hand, and his expression was very vivid, but he did not read the book, but looked at the three daughters Yang Sanchun and his son-in-law Zou Yinglong in front of him. On the book in his hand, Mr. Song took a magnifying glass and looked carefully for a while, and then read it out: "Those who know me say I am worried; those who don't know me say I want what I want, the sky is everywhere, who is this?"

After reading these few sentences, Mr. Song was shocked and said for a while: "This is the sentence of the Book of Songs. There are lines of words below, like a real book. This character is already subtle. It is already a shocking work to be able to carve the pictures and expressions of the characters into subtle subtle figures. It is a great ability. But I never thought that the words and sentences of the books held by the characters can also be carved out in the books, magical works, magical works!"

Gu Jiangang and Mr. Wang didn’t notice these words because they were too small. If Mr. Song had not looked at them carefully with a magnifying glass, it would not be easy to recognize them. If you have to see them clearly and carefully, you might have to use a high-power magnifying glass!

But this has already made everyone present amazed. The longer the few people watched it, the more they felt that Zhou Xuan’s birthday gift was precious.

Zhou Xuan was honest, he still didn't expect that it would cause such a big sensation. The ice gas carved and shrunk according to the pictures in his mind, and carried out with the ability of the ice gas. For him, it was as easy and simple as opening his eyes and closing his eyes, but he really didn't expect that his casual work would make a shocking work!

Gu Jiangang stayed for a while before asking Zhou Xuan: "Mr. Zhou, can you tell me who the master of this micro-carving is?" In the eyes of Gu Jiangang and several others, the master of this micro-carving must be a modern person, because to make such a meticulous work, you must use modern high-precision technology, high-power fine microscope and other high-tech tools to make it!

Zhou Xuan was stunned, smiled embarrassedly, and shook his head and said, "Sorry, the master who is this micro-carving has repeatedly reminded me that he must not disclose his name and origin!"

Gu Jiangang sighed regretfully: "That's it, then forget it, extraordinary people have extraordinary personalities, and it's normal that they don't want to be known to the world. It's just that this is a work that has been passed down from generation to generation. Mr. Xiao Zhou gave it to me like this, and Mr. Gu didn't dare to accept it like this. This is really too expensive. I don't know if Mr. Xiao Zhou's family...can it, can it..."

Zhou Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, please rest assured. My family is my leader. My family will not talk nonsense. This gift may be a bit rare for outsiders, but it is nothing to me. Please accept it with peace of mind on Mr. Gu's birthday!"

Gu Jiangang was stunned for a while, but still unwilling to do so, stretched his fingers at Gu Zhonghuai, and said, "Zhonghuai, you can write a check of 200 million to Mr. Xiao Zhou. It is a little bit of my wish for this micro-carving. Please accept it no matter how much Mr. Xiao Zhou!"

Gu Jiangang knew in his heart that if this micro-carving was taken to the auction house, it would not be surprising that it would be sold for 300 million to 400 million in the international buyer group. It was really not much for him to give 200 million Hong Kong dollars, but he would feel more at ease after paying this money. After all, the Gu family and Zhou Xuan had no friendship, so they gave such a heavy gift at will, so they really had to think about it.

If their Gu family was a family of high-ranking officials and powerful officials, then Gu Jiangang would still think about whether he would ask him to be an official, but Zhou Xuan himself is a family of high-ranking officials from the capital. Naturally, it would not be because of that reason. Should he borrow money from their Gu family? If it comes to borrowing money, why didn’t Zhou Xuan take this micro-carving to auction? If it were auctioned, he could get at least 400 million in cash. If he was lucky, it would not be impossible to exceed 500 million. After all, the height of this work is here!

But looking at Zhou Xuan's appearance, it was obviously not like he was going to borrow money from them. Gu Jiangang was even more confused, so he asked his second son to write a check of 200 million to test Zhou Xuan. If Zhou Xuan took it, it would be more at ease, as if he spent money to buy this treasure.

But Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Mr. Gu, today is your birthday. To be honest, I have never met you and have no relationships. I just have a friendship with Gu Yuan and Gu Shao. When I came here with him, I have to express my feelings no matter what. So, my gift is just a gift, and it does not mean any attempt. If you always feel that it is inappropriate, then I will take back the gift and leave immediately!"

Gu Jiangang was stunned again. Of course he didn't mean that. He had heard from Gu Yuan that Zhou Xuan was with Wei Haihong and a senior family in the capital with the same identity. He immediately ordered Gu Yuan to invite Zhou Xuan quickly and prepare to make friends on his birthday. This is a great opportunity to win over and establish a good relationship with the capital.

But what surprised Gu Jiangang was that Zhou Xuan’s gift was too expensive. However, after Zhou Xuan said this, Gu Jiangang hesitated for a moment and immediately said decisively: "When Mr. Zhou said this, I, Old Gu, are not polite. I will accept this gift. Second brother, take it inside and put it in. Gu Yuan, ask someone to see the tea!"

After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly at Zhou Xuan and said, "I'm really sorry, your gift is too expensive. I forgot to ask someone to tea, it's rude!"

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Mr. Gu, don't be polite. Mr. Gu and I are friends, so there is no need to pay so much attention to friends!"

Gu Yuan immediately ran out with a smile and asked the servant to serve tea. He was also somewhat surprised, but he was too surprised. Zhou Xuan did not expect that in addition to his amazing gambling skills, he gave his grandfather a gift so precious. He was still calculating the day before that he and Hua Jianxing and Zeng Guoyu would share the remaining money they earned after losing. The gifts they gave to them were more than 200 million yuan. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was the only one who shared 300 million yuan.

The few people present had a different view of Zhou Xuan at this time, and invisibly, Zhou Xuan's status rose.

Mr. Wang smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, sorry, I want to ask, do you have a similar gift on your hand?"

Zhou Xuan felt moved and immediately smiled and said, "Yes, although not many, there are still a few pieces, but not in my hands. I have an antique shop and a jewelry company in Beijing. The antique shop is in Panjiayuan, Beijing. It is like a jade carving similar to the jade carvings given to Mr. Gu. There are still a few pieces in my store. Mr. Wang wants to collect them?"

"Haha..." Mr. Wang smiled and nodded and replied, "It really means this. Mr. Zhou, I don't know how the quality and craftsmanship of the pieces in your store are compared to the jade carvings given to Mr. Gu?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Not under this!"

Looking at Zhou Xuan's calm and calm look, Mr. Wang also felt a clear idea in his heart. Zhou Xuan said that if he was not under this item, it would be like this. Everyone would have this kind of mind. If you give it to someone and what you keep, it must be better for him. But in this scene, Zhou Xuan could not say it in front of Gu Jiangang. What I left behind was much better than the one I gave to him, and the one I gave it to him was the worst!

If this is the case, it would be fine to know it. Of course, Gu Jiangang himself understood it, but this one might be Zhou Xuan's worst one. In his opinion, it was already a huge gift. At this time, he was thinking that he wanted Gu Yuan to invite Zhou Xuan and their Gu family came to make friends, but he never thought that Zhou Xuan gave them a big gift first, and in the future, he asked Gu Yuan to think of some ways to give Zhou Xuan some generous gifts!

"Then it, Mr. Zhou, if the quality of the items in your store is comparable to that of Mr. Gu, I am willing to pay a price of at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars per piece. Of course, everything will be discussed after seeing the actual product. What do you think?"

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Ask for you, Mr. Wang, if you have the heart, you will go to Panjiayuan in the capital when you have time. Let's talk about it after seeing the real thing in my store. I welcome it, haha!"

Zhou Xuan's neither humble nor arrogant expression and demeanor convinced Gu Jiangang and others. Such a gift was given to others at will, but he did not move at all. Even Gu Jiangang himself, with his 90s and decades of experience, would not be able to do this!

If Gu Jiangang was asked to take out hundreds of millions of cash, it would not be difficult and would not be heartbroken. But if he was asked to give such a valuable antique to someone, it would be impossible. At this point, he was really not as good as Zhou Xuan's demeanor. Not only him, but no one here could do it.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Old Gu, I wish you a long life better than the southern mountains and a blessing like the East China Sea. Every year there is a present and every year there is a present. Haha, the gift is just an object. It has a price, and life is priceless!"

Gu Jiangang was stunned again!

How could Zhou Xuan say such words when he was young? This is not something he said casually. Like Zhou Xuangang's tone, it is a tone that has understood the vicissitudes of life. Yes, no matter how expensive these objects are, they are still dead and valuable, but life and life are priceless. With Gu Jiangang's financial resources and material resources, all the gold, silver, money, material life, women, cars, and houses, they are as much as possible, but what is the use?
