1042 Genuine Warring States: Green Jade High Foot Lamp
Ye Feng was stunned. He had just returned to Yang Cheng and he had already triggered the treasure hunting navigation?
It seemed that Yang Cheng was really his blessed land.
Not daring to delay, he immediately turned around from the intersection in front.
Chen Xuan, who was leaning against the passenger seat to recover her strength, was stunned. “Aren’t we going back?”
Ye Feng did not know how to explain, he could only reply: “I just remembered something. I need to deal with it immediately.”
Chen Xuan replied with an “oh” and did not continue to ask.
She had been tormented by this fellow until she almost fell apart. Now, she did not even have the strength to lift a finger. She could not be bothered to care about this.
Following the system navigation, after driving for about ten minutes, Ye Feng soon arrived at a high-end shopping mall called ‘Sky Street’.
With the grade of this mall, most of the people who could enter and spend money there were high-income groups with high status. They would more or less pay attention to their status.
However, at this moment, a large group of people was gathered at the entrance of the mall. It was unknown what they were watching.
Ye Feng pulled Chen Xuan and squeezed into the crowd. He finally saw the scene inside clearly.
At this moment, there was a table in the middle of the crowd. There was only one thing on the table.
It was a piece of jade, light yellow in color, made of three pieces of jade.
It was about 12 or 13 centimeters tall, and the upper part was in the shape of a five-petal flower. The overall shape was very beautiful.
He activated the deep scan and probed. [Green jade high foot lamp, identified as authentic jade from the Warring States Period. 12.8 cm tall, 10.2 cm in diameter… The system estimates it at 570 million!]
After seeing this information, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
It was actually an authentic piece from the Warring States Period worth 570 million?
This could really be considered a national treasure.
He calmly retracted his gaze and looked at the man sitting in front of the stall. He was about 50 years old, his hair was a little messy, and his face was full of vicissitudes.
However, the elegant temperament he exuded made it obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time. He was definitely not pretending.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Jia Daizhen, the chairman of Leshan Corporation.”
“The company is facing bankruptcy because of poor management, and I’m also in debt.”
“Although I can file for bankruptcy, and I won’t have to bear a lot of debts…”
At this point, his voice suddenly became more passionate. “But I feel that as a human being, I must be honest. I can’t let down the trust that those tenants and employees have in me. Even if I have to go bankrupt, I must return the money to the tenants and pay the wages owed to the employees.”
“Good!”
After he finished speaking, the venue immediately erupted into warm applause.
In this day and age, many companies went bankrupt, and the boss directly packed up and ran away.
Such a conscientious boss still wanted to sell his assets to pay off his debts. He was simply the conscience of a capitalist.
Jia Daizhen cupped his hands at the crowd. “I’m not here to beg from you today. I’ve brought out my family’s ancestral green jade high foot lamp. This is the finest product of the Warring States Period and is priceless. Although I am extremely reluctant, I still decided to sell it to pay off my debts.”
Following his explanation, everyone’s gaze fell on the green jade lamp. It had to be said that this jade was indeed exquisite.
“Then how much does Boss Jia want to sell it for? A treasure like this shouldn’t be cheap, right?”
Someone in the crowd immediately asked for a price.
Jia Daizhen first sighed and explained to the crowd, “I’ve asked many authoritative experts in the antique world to appraise them, including famous antique merchants such as Maple Leaf Pavilion and Gu Zixuan in Yang Cheng. They all gave appraisal reports.”
As he spoke, he opened a box beside him and took out a stack of appraisal reports.
Even though Ye Feng was a little far away, his eyesight was amazing. He saw that there was indeed an appraisal report from their Maple Leaf Pavilion.
However, this was not a big deal. After his in-depth scan, this green jade high foot lamp was indeed authentic.
Jia Daizhen handed the appraisal reports to everyone to check, then continued, “They generally gave an estimated value of more than 600 million.”
“Hiss…”
Hearing his bid, everyone present gasped.
Although people who could enter the Sky Street were considered rich, 600 million yuan was still an astronomical figure for them.
Many people who were originally interested in this jade article began to retreat.
Jia Daizhen saw everyone’s expressions and immediately smiled bitterly. “Of course I know that selling it for 600 million is unrealistic.”
“From my personal feelings, this is our family heirloom. I won’t sell it no matter how much money you give me. But now that we are in urgent need of cash flow, I can consider lowering the price a little…”
“Then tell us the exact number. If you can lower the price a little, we can consider it.”
Someone in the crowd immediately suggested, and the others agreed.
Jia Daizhen frowned and thought for a moment. “My bottom price is 400 million. I can’t go any lower than this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately buzzed with discussion.
A jade piece worth 600 million was only sold for 400 million?
It seemed that this Boss Jia was really forced into a dead end. Otherwise, he would not have made such a huge sacrifice.
