Chapter 48: Priceless Mother-of-Pearl Jewelry Box

In order to reassure Master Dong, Mr. He asked He Liangcong to directly book the best suite in the best Haitian Hotel in Wanxian, and then asked He Liangcong to send Xiao Yingchun home to get the things.

It was already twelve o'clock when Xiao Yingchun brought the things over...

Xiao Yingchun said he was exhausted doing business while stealing.

Fortunately, she sent a message to Dai Hengxin on the way and asked, "What if Master Dong wants to buy it?"
Dai Hengxin replied directly: "If he is willing to buy, just sell it."

Master Dong’s connections in the circle are unmatched, so as long as he dares to accept it, there will be no problem.

The most sensitive thing in this circle is what tomb robbers dug out.

As long as it is not something that comes out of a grave, collectors with connections are not afraid.

Naturally, they have their own way of identifying whether something came from a tomb.

Xiao Yingchun felt relieved.

By the time we arrived at the hotel suite, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Xiao Yingchun entered the room, several people looked at her, and the next second their eyes fell on the black gym bag that Xiao Yingchun was carrying.

This was given to me by Dai Hengxin last time.

The old man sitting on the sofa in the middle has a head full of white hair, but he has a smiling face and looks easy-going. He should be Master Dong.

Mr. He stood up first and introduced: "This is Xiao Yingchun, a partner of my son Xiaocong's auction company. He is also the provider of the collections to be auctioned tonight."

Master Dong stood up and held out his hand: "Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry to trouble you to come here so late."

Being watched by so many people, Xiao Yingchun was inexplicably nervous. She laughed dryly and carefully put her bag on the ground: "Your coming here is a support for our company and me. I am very grateful."

The zipper was unzipped and the box was taken out. Xiao Yingchun opened the box and carefully pushed it over: "Would you like to take a look?"

A glittering mother-of-pearl jewelry box appeared in front of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath!
This is too beautiful!
Master Dong also began to identify it carefully.

It serves as both a light and a magnifying glass, allowing you to see not only the outside but also the inside.

After looking through every detail, Master Dong frowned slightly and said, "Everything is correct, except for one thing I want to ask Miss Xiao."

"Please tell me."

"The patina of this mother-of-pearl box looks like someone has played with it frequently, but the patina's sense of age is a little off... May I ask why?"

Xiao Yingchun blinked her eyes: "I don't know either."

"Then where did this mother-of-pearl box come from? Miss Xiao, can you tell me?"

Xiao Yingchun blinked again: "...My friend gave it to me."

Master Dong: “…”

Others present: "..."

Which friend would give such an expensive gift? !
Can I have a friend like this?
After looking at each other, everyone silently speculated: Maybe it’s her boyfriend? !
This guy is really willing to spend money to pick up girls!

Master Dong pointed to a fresh scratch inside the box and said, "This scratch looks like it was newly made. What's going on?"

When talking about this, Xiao Yingchun felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't know the value of it before. When my friend gave me this box, it contained some jewelry..."

Without waiting for the others to say anything, Xiao Yingchun added, "It's the gold and gem-encrusted jewelry that was auctioned today."

Everyone: "..."

So this jewelry box was really put to good use. When it was given to Xiao Yingchun, there were actually jewelry inside!
They are all antiques...

"I wonder which collector Miss Xiao's friend is?" Master Dong became even more curious.

Someone who could easily give away such a treasure-level antique box and a box of antique jewelry could not be unknown.

Xiao Yingchun answered straightforwardly: "It is not convenient to disclose this."

Everyone: "..."

In desperation, everyone's attention was once again focused on this mother-of-pearl agarwood jewelry box inlaid with gold and silver threads.

This thing is so good, it makes you salivate at the sight of it.

You should know that agarwood is extremely rare, and the sides of this box are not made of small boards, but are made of whole sides of agarwood joints. Such precious materials are not seen in modern times.

What's more, the lingering and rich fragrance is something that new items cannot have.

Finally, Master Dong spoke up: "Miss Xiao, can you give up this collection?"

This is what I like and want to buy.

Xiao Yingchun nodded decisively: "Okay."

"I wonder how much Miss Xiao wants to sell it for?"

Xiao Yingchun said again: "You have the final say."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

No one expected Xiao Yingchun to be so straightforward.

But there were no fools present, and everyone knew that this would put the pressure on Master Dong.

As a well-known collector in China, Master Dong is famous in the industry for his good dealings with people: he never deliberately deceives and lowers the price by relying on his own knowledge and the other party's lack of expertise.

The price Master Dong offers must be a fair price.

Master Dong did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"There have been a few mother-of-pearl jewelry boxes at auction before, but none of them were as big as this one, nor as exquisitely crafted, and certainly not made of agarwood... The auction price was 20 million at the time."

"If you put this up for auction, the price will definitely be more than 20 million, but given the current situation in China, it may not be convenient for you to put this up for auction..."

Xiao Yingchun nodded to show his understanding.

It is too precious. If someone becomes jealous and reports it, it will be very difficult to explain the source clearly.

Therefore, Master Dong finally looked at Xiao Yingchun and said, "I'll offer you 25 million for this collection. Are you willing to give it to me?"

Xiao Yingchun once again showed her decisive side: "Okay."

Everyone: "!!!"

More than 20 million, without hesitation or bargaining, he agreed immediately.

But she agreed readily, but there was no excitement or surprise on her face.

It was as if the box had only cost two thousand five hundred dollars.

This was the first time they had seen such a calm young girl.

He Liangcong is a playboy who often picks up girls in bars and KTVs. He has given many girls nice things, but he has never been so calm.

Everyone came to the same conclusion: this girl is not simple.

Master Dong smiled and nodded, looking deeply at Xiao Yingchun: "Miss Xiao, if you have anything good, you can call me."

As he spoke, Master Dong handed Xiao Yingchun a business card.

Very few people still use business cards these days.

Xiao Yingchun took it with both hands. There was only a name and a phone number on the black and gold-embossed business card.

Dong Chunfeng.

Telephone:……

"Thank you, Master Dong. If I find anything good, I will find you."

Xiao Yingchun agreed with a smile.

The box was sold at such a high price, plus the proceeds from the previous auction, it was a total of tens of millions!
Xiao Yingchun felt that he didn't need to sell antiques anymore recently.

We have money!
