“These really do seems to be Ambergris.”
Su Jing quickly landed on the shore and picked up a “stone” on the beach, he looked left and right and found that besides the color being not white, it was almost identical to the one that the killer whale had retrieved, and moved all the other huge stones to a pile, looking like Ambergris.
Su Jing can hardly believe it. Is he blessed today? That’s too good luck, isn’t it?
Su Jing took out the bag and put all the 8 stones in it. They weight about sixty jin. Although some of them were wet and had moisture in weight, they should be at least thirty or forty Jin when dried. Although none of them was white and would not be as precious as the one taken back by the killer whale, some of them were gray and light gray. The light grey ones are not bad either.
Su Jing can only pray now. These stones must be Ambergris. If they are not then they will be worthless and he would feel like falling from heaven to hell.
Su Jing seemed to be carrying a large bag of cash and afraid of a slip, he did not wait and riding the killer whale, he went home.
When he got home, he found out that his mobile phone was blasting. There were more than a dozen missed calls. They were all left by Shen Hong. Su Jing called back and there was Shen Hong’s anxious voice came from the other side: “Why don’t you answer my phone, Su Jing? Are you planning to sell Ambergris or find someone else to identify them? I told you, don’t find unreliable appraiser, otherwise, they will damage and destroy those things and they will become worthless, you…”
“No, I just went out to sea without my cell phone.” Su Jing quickly interrupted Shen Hong.
“So you’ve come back? I’m at your door.” Shen Hong was relieved to hear that.
“I’ll let you in.” Su Jing pressed the switch, and the door opened automatically and he went out to greet him. He found that Shen Hong was not alone. He was accompanied by a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man with a big box in his hand.
“Where is it?” Shen Hong couldn’t wait any longer. When he arrived here, he was shocked by the courtyard and the house. Last time he came here, it was still in ruins. Unexpectedly, It had changed completely in less than a month. Once again, he was shocked to see so many excellent pets in the yard but at the moment, however, he was not in the mood to care about them. He was in the mood to see the Bamboo and Stone Painting and ambergris.
Into the room, Su Jing first took out Bamboo and Stone Painting. In order to avoid Shen Hong’s discernment, Su Jing had already pulled the shaft off the scroll and torn off the surface, so it had nothing to do with the original landscape painting in any way.
Shen Hong and the other two took out their tools and began to examine and discuss them. They were very alert and careful. It had to be said that Shen Hong was still worthy of respect in this state. So Su Jing kept silent and dared not disturb them.
“This Bamboo and Stone Painting is undoubtedly the original work of Zheng Banqiao’s. Where did you get it?” Shen Hong made a judgment and then asked curiously.
“This…” Su Jing was overjoyed to hear that it was a genuine work, but it would be hard for him to say that the painting was bought from Shen Hong yesterday and said, “I bought it from an old man in a stall.”
“How much did it cost?” Shen Hong asked again.
“More than 10,000.” Su Jing can’t say that it only costs a thousand, or the price you sold it for.
“You found a leak, a really big leak.” Shen Hong looked envious.
“The estimated value of this Bamboo and Stone Painting is more than two million. The auction price is more than one million. To purchase this at a price of 10,000 yuan is really big. I have entered the antique industry for decades and even I only have been that lucky once.” The old man with white hair sighed.
“I wasn’t that lucky even once.” The middle-aged man also sighed.
In the industry of antiques, the leaks not only mean making money but also representing the eyes of the appraisers. Almost everyone is proud of catching mistakes. Some people even deliberately say that they are lowering the price they bought the item for.
“The old man you said, do you know where he is or is he still setting up a stall?” asked the white-haired old man.
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen him since I bought this painting.” Su Jing replied.
“It’s a pity.” The white-haired old man looked sorry.
“It’s a pity that the man sold the Bamboo and Stone Painting worth more than two million yuan. It’s really ignorant. If we could get in touch with him, we might be able to pick up big leaks from him.” Shen Hong is also sad.
“…” Su Jing didn’t know what to say and looked at Shen Hong with strange eyes.
“What about the Ambergris?” asked the white-haired old man.
Su Jing took out the white Ambergris, seeing the Ambergris, their eyes immediately lit up. They began to detect Ambergris. It seemed more troublesome to identify Ambergris than Bamboo and Stone Painting. Su Jing was dazzled by the use of a variety of tools.
“This is absolutely superb!” The white-haired old man exclaimed, the photograph showed Ambergris’s white grey mixture, but gently scraped off the grey layer, which was white, and it was clear that the grey layer was just sticky and dirty.
“Is this really Ambergris?” Su Jing’s eyes brightened.
“It can’t be truer. It’s Ambergris, the best quality. It’s estimated that it can sell more than one million yuan.” Shen Hong said, glancing at Su Jing again, wondering if Su Jing was taken care of by heaven. Red sandalwood roots, Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ambergris, a rural kid like him have too many top-quality things on him.
“Young man, Can you give this Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ambergris and let our Myriad Treasures Auction House auction them?” said the white-haired old man.
“Yeah, I have a red sandalwood root, and I also wanted to give it to the Myriad Treasures Auction House to auction it.” Su Jing said.
“Red sandalwood root?” The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man are all stunned. They haven’t seen it yet and they are not clear as to what’s going on. Su Jing took out the root of the red sandalwood tree, which made the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man shocked again.
“What are you waiting for? Now bring it back to the auction house and go through the formalities.” The white-haired old man looked impatient and obviously hoped that the three treasures would be sold from their auction house. As a treasure-keeper, he would also gain more face.
“If you’re not in a hurry, I’d like to ask for another favor. These gray, brownstones look like Ambergris, but I’m not sure.” Su Jing said, “Looking like it doesn’t mean it must be, so it’s more reassuring to identify it all.”
“You still have Ambergris?” Shen Hong’s eyes widened.
“Yes, I still have a sack.” Su Jing lifted the bag in the corner, opened it and revealed various Ambergris.
“…” Shen Hong almost fell to the ground. When they came in, they saw the sack. They just didn’t pay attention to it at all. It’s normal to have a sack of sweet potatoes or something in the countryside. Who could have thought that it was a sack of Ambergris?
Shen Hong was jealous enough to snatch it, but he patiently identified it all and found that they were Ambergris. However, the quality of the bag was uneven. Finally, Shen Hong’s three men discussed and estimated that the value of the bag was more than three million.
Su Jing can’t help smiling. He really made it big.
