This small private fair is organized by several merchants or private collectors, and it usually will be held at a certain time every year. However, if some collectors encounter some superb things and want to display or sell them, they will also be held from time to time.
This time the trade fair is because a boss surnamed Zheng got a piece of lightning-strike wood. A very complete piece of lightning-strike wood, with the entire tree body struck by a bolt of lightning. So he wanted to sell it to see if he could exchange it for something better, or in exchange for money of equal value.
Such things as lightning-strike wood are really hard to come by for those who know how to use it, but for those who don't know this, it is probably a piece of rotten wood that has been struck by lightning. But the people that come today, at least half of them came from the lightning-strike wood.
Even if you can only buy a small piece the size of a palm, carve a small pendant and wear it on your body, the effect of warding off evil is more effective than any amulet given by the Master.
If you can get a large piece, then find someone who knows Fengshui to see if it can be displayed at home or buried somewhere. Even if it can't help your fortune, you can also guarantee that your home will not be invaded by evil spirits. In business, you don't have to harm people, but you can't avoid people.
Before, when Wen Ran went to the market, he find a piece of Taishan stone and use it to make Fengshui for the Qi family's vegetable garden. At that time, a knowledgeable boss wanted to buy it from him. Wen Ran didn't sell it, but he also got in touch with the boss.
The boss's surname is Lan and his name is ZhouMing. He is one of the persons in charge of this trade fair and the person who gave Wen Ran the invitation letter.
Just as Wen Ran planned before, he really came with two peaches. In order not to let the aura leak out, Wen Ran deliberately found a wooden box and pasted a talisman inside the box.
When entering the venue, the things they bring need to be registered. If there are few people and items, they will be displayed one by one, and then transactions will be carried out during the display.
If there are many people, then they will be registered in a small program. Those who come to participate can scan the code to enter the mini program to view the item, and if they like it, they can go there directly and trade privately.
As soon as Wen Ran arrived at the venue, Lan Zhouming, who was standing at the door, came over. Although they only met once, Lan Zhouming had a deep memory of Wen Ran.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Lan Zhouming introduced the rules of the trade fair while leading Wen Ran to the registration desk.
Wen Ran smiled and said: "The things I brought are a bit special, I don't know if they will catch your attention."
Lan Zhouming's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Special? We like special things the most here!"
Wen Ran smiled, put the box on the table, and with a click, the lock was pushed open.
When the box was opened, a strong peach fragrance instantly permeated the air. Accompanied by the peach fragrance, there seemed to be a clear and refreshing feeling if you just smell it, and if you get close, you can obviously feel that your head and your eyes are clearer.
Good stuff, you know it's good stuff just by smelling it!
Wen Ran looked at Lan Zhouming: "I don't know how you define this kind of thing here?"
Although this is a transaction, no matter if it is a display transaction or a small program, there must be an introduction. It is not possible to put pictures of two peaches and then have no introduction.
Lan Zhouming said: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a spiritual fruit, right? The taste is different from ordinary things."
Wen Ran nodded: "Yes, do you trade this kind of thing here?"
Lan Zhouming hurriedly said: "Trade, why don't you trade? It's just there are many people rushing to get them. No matter how good those spiritual artifacts and antiques are, they are not as good as strengthening your body. If you can spend money to buy a life-extending things, you must definitely grab them like crazy!"
Wen Ran has no experience in this kind of trading, but these two peaches are indeed the two with the most aura in the orchard.
The tree is planted in the center of the formation, and it is probably because of that this peach tree is more domineering. The other trees are full of fruits, but there were no more than ten peaches on that tree, and all of them were full of aura, and these two were the two that grew the best among them.
To Wen Ran's surprise, the two registrars standing behind the table were just as stunned when they saw the peaches. After being dazed, they quickly took out an instrument from under the table. Took out the peaches with gloves on, then put the peach on the instrument.
Wen Ran didn't understand why.
Lan Zhouming saw his incomprehensible eyes, and said: "This is an aura tester. Many things we trade here are spiritual instruments and some antiques. For safety, the aura of some things must be tested, such as those antiques should not be too negative. Otherwise, if they are traded out, it will not be a friendly exchange, it will be harmful.
"And sometimes there will be collectors who are willing to sell the Master's talisman. This talisman is generally not easy to identify. If you don't use it, who knows if the talisman is effective or not.
"With this tester, you can check the energy contained in the talisman. The higher the energy, the more valuable it is. Like your two peaches, the value is judged by the value of aura."
Just after Lan Zhouming finished speaking, the two peaches were also tested. The registrar wrote on the introduction card that the aura values were 9.1 and 9.3. The difference between the spiritual energy values of the two peaches was just a small amount.
Wen Ran looked at the aura value, and asked curiously, "How do you distinguish the aura value?"
Lan Zhouming couldn't help but look fixedly at the two peaches. Such a high aura value is too rare.
"Generally, the aura value of spiritual vegetables and fruits is between 1.5 and 3. You know that in Chunyang Temple, they have a field and specially set up a spiritual array. The fruits and vegetables grown in it are not easily accessible to the public.
" There was a crazy grab for a pile of jade cabbage with a spiritual energy value around 5.0 before. If you sell these two peaches, you must not do it under 5 million."
Wen Ran thanked Lan Zhouming for his reminder. Were these peaches? These are simply golden peaches, the solid one. Two peaches are worth 5 million. Why is he trying so hard to catch ghosts? Might as well selling peaches as a fruit farmer.
It's a pity that this orchard is from the Qi family, and Qi Yunjing probably doesn't like the little money he gets from selling fruits.
As the old saying goes, speak of devil and the devil would come.
Just as Wen Ran was looking at his two golden peaches, a familiar golden light filled his sight. At the same time, a hand was placed on his shoulder, accompanied by a familiar and cold voice: "Why are you here?"
Turning around, Wen Ran saw Qi Yunjing's overly handsome face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here?"
This kind of small trade fair that focuses on metaphysics, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where Qi Yunjing would come. Isn't a trade fair worth tens of billions is enough for his status?
Qi Yunjing said: "There is a jade screen on display today. Grandma likes it, so I came to see if I can buy it."
Wen Ran looked at his hand, but he didn't have anything in it: "Then what did you bring?"
Qi Yunjing: "The assistant took Lan Shan's painting for registration."
After Qi Yunjing finished speaking, he looked at the painting that was sent over, and the two peaches packed in a wooden box. Qi Yunjing raised his eyebrows.
Wen Ran closed the box, and smiled: "You register slowly. I'll go take a look around."
As soon as Wen Ran took a step forward, he felt a resistance behind him, and when he looked back, Qi Yunjing picked up his collar up regardless of his image.
Qi Yunjing let go of his collar: "Since we met, let's go together. It just so happens that I don't know much about this kind of trade fair. You should understand better than me."
Wen Ran clicked his tongue lightly, and took out the payment code on his mobile phone bluntly: "Please pay the shopping guide fee."
Qi Yunjing didn't move, his eyes fell on the wooden box he was holding.
Wen Ran put away the phone in a second, and said with a sweet smile, "Oh, I was joking with you, isn't it just to be a tour guide? Come on, come on, what do you want to know? I may not know much about antiques, but I still have certain understanding about spiritual tools."
The trade fair hasn't started yet. Most of the people here are acquaintances and chatting. It is said that there are a lot of people at this fair today, so the trade is done through a small program. Wen Ran quickly found the place to scan the code, and his peaches has been uploaded.
After the previous registration, the registrar gave Wen Ran a number plate, and each number plate has a corresponding table, so that it is convenient for someone to look for something. Because Wen Ran and Qi Yunjing registered one after another, their tables are almost at the same place.
Wen Ran didn't come here just to sell peach, he wanted to see if there was anything he was interested in, but carrying a wooden box like this does get in the way.
Seeing that Qi Yunjing handed over the paintings he brought to his assistant, and planned to look for the jade screen, Wen Ran hurriedly said: "Let's go together. Little assistant, please take a look at mine for a while. I'll go with your boss to look around. If there's something wrong, contact your boss and we will come right away."
Qi Yunjing glanced at Wen Ran, but he didn't object.
Although the little assistant didn't know the relationship between the two, he saw that the boss took the initiative to talk to this gentleman, and he looked very familiar with him. He knows that the relationship must be unusual.
Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."
Wen Ran followed Qi Yunjing around the venue. Even if he didn't deliberately open his eyes, but he can still see all kinds of colorful objects. Those spiritual weapons that are of average quality may have no color at all, but some of the spiritual weapons that are in good quality and high-end may have bright colors.
Wen Ran didn't look at anything else. He just looked at whatever color looked good and picked it up if he could.
Inside the venue, the place where the lightning-struck wood displayed was the most crowded. The size of the lightning-struck wood was quite big. It seemed the tree was just been struck by lightning, or the lightning had already penetrated into the flesh of the tree.
Wen Ran could feel it even from a distance, there was an aura of thunder and lightning. But unfortunately there were too many onlookers, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.
Qi Yunjing glanced at him: "You want it?"
Wen Ran nodded repeatedly: "That's a good thing. A lightning-strike wood can be struck by lightning, but it is not dead.
"Only those which has absorb the thunder energy into it can be called lightning-strike wood. A piece of wood that has been struck dead by lightning can only be considered a defective product even if it holds up to the sky.
"This piece of wood is full of thunder and vitality, and is a rare treasure."
Wen Ran then pulled Qi Yunjing: "Is that is the jade screen you are looking for?"
Qi Yunjing looked sideways, hummed, and walked over.
This jade screen is not a spiritual tool, it can only be regarded as a collection. The four-sided jade of the same height has been carved according to the texture and color of the jade body. The four-sided screens are all landscape paintings, with fine carvings. Considering its size, it's worth a lot of money.
Wen Ran knew that this kind of jade was not cheap. The jade that grandma broke before cost tens of millions. A jade screen of this size might cost hundreds of millions.
There were also some people looking at the big jade screen, but they all just passed by and took a look. There was no one who actually stepped forward.
Seeing Qi Yunjing walk forward, Wen Ran hurriedly followed. When he was looking at the owner, Qi Yunjing directly said: "Is it an item transaction or a money transaction?"
The owner of the jade screen is a middle-aged man, but his complexion is not very good. His eyes are a little swollen, the corners of his mouth are slightly drooping, his lips are dark, and his eyebrows are even more dim. It seems that this person has been quite broke recently.
The man said: "Money transaction, 300 million."
Qi Yunjing glanced at the jade screen: "80 million, transfer immediately."
The boss shook his head. Qi Yunjing turned around and left without saying a word.
Probably the boss also wanted to facilitate this business, or maybe his offer of 300 million was an inflated price, leaving room for bargaining. Seeing that Qi Yunjing was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "This is the jade screen carved by Master Fushan himself. I didn't raise the price of the 300 million yuan at all. "
Qi Yunjing said: "I'm not a jade collector, and I don't know any master Fushan, so I only look at the jade screen itself, which is ordinary waxy jade. It's just that the size is a little larger. The four-sided screen is made of the same jade material and has enough integrity. As far as this jade quality is concerned, I paid 80 million yuan was because of the fine carvings.
"If you sell it, we will trade it immediately. If you don't sell it, we won't waste each other's time."
Wen Ran said: "If you want me to say, sir, you'd better get rid of this the jade screen as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid you will be like fetching water with a bamboo basket.
"Judging by your appearance, you have lost a lot of money. Your eyes are wandering, your eyebrows are blurred, and your energy is stagnant. The black mole on your forehead must have appeared recently. From this look, I am afraid that not only is your family empty of money, but also cannot gain more.
"Take a look. This jade screen contains mountains, rivers, clouds, and dense fog. From a person's belongings, you can tell a little about the fortune of your family. You must like this jade screen very much. Most of the time, it is placed in a place like a study and you often appreciate it.
"If the family is prosperous, the aura of this jade must be clear and comfortable, but you can see for yourself whether the color of this jade is dull."
The boss is also a little superstitious about Fengshui, seeing that the man looks young, but he has indeed told everything about him, and his family is short of money. Not to mention, the family members were also hospitalized, and it was indeed a financial loss.
Looking at the jade screen again, he don't know if it is due to psychological factors. The jade color seems to have indeed dimmed a bit.
Wen Ran said: "If I'm not mistaken, your loss of wealth may also be related to the jade wares. I think you have some conflicts with the aura of this jade screen.
"Of course, whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you. My suggestion is, don't touch anything related to jade for at least half a year, and your fortune will gradually come back, otherwise, you will end up with nothing."
Wen Ran's words really moved the boss. This is not the first time for him to come to this kind of trade fair. He knows that this kind of trade fair mainly focuses on metaphysical things, so there are many capable people and strange people. The key is that what this person said is accurate.
But 80 million, he is really reluctant. He spent more than 100 million betting open this stone. Although in the end only waxy seeds were produced, and it is considered losing the bet, but it is good enough. There are no strands, and there are not many black spots.
He also specially invited a master to carve such a screen, which made the value of this jade screen is far more than the initial capital of 100 million. Now he is reluctant to part with jade and money.
When Qi Yunjing was about to leave again, the boss said: "100 million. I'll sell it for 100 million!"
Wen Ran looked at Qi Yunjing, Qi Yunjing nodded, and the deal was concluded, Wen Ran said: "Then I'll go and replace your assistant or tell him to come over?"
Qi Yunjing took out his mobile phone and was just about to contact his assistant when the boss's mobile phone rang too. What people never expected was the boss, who heard some bad news on the mobile phone, his eyes went dark and he fell down, on the screen behind him.
There were still people standing next to him, but seeing the boss hit the screen, everyone dodged instinctively, and no one reached out to block it, for fear it would cause trouble.
As a result, there was a loud noise, and the screen, which was as high as a person on all sides, was knocked down to the ground with a bang.
Although the jade was not completely shattered, it was cracked all over, and even a big corner was missing on one side. The entire screen was destroyed, and it could not be repaired.
Wen Ran looked at the screen on the ground, and the boss who feel so foolish this time that he wished he could die on the spot. He moved to Qi Yunjing's side in small steps: "If you can't buy the screen, will grandma be unhappy?"
Qi Yunjing looked at Wen Ran: "Even if you are not happy, there is nothing you can do about it."
Soon the security guards and the person in charge of the trade fair gathered around. But the boss knocked down the screen himself, and no one else touched it from the beginning to the end. Even Qi Yunjing, who was doing business with him, was four or five steps away.
The boss thought of what Wen Ran said just now, trade as soon as possible, otherwise he will fetch water from bamboo basket. Now he can't even fetch water from the bamboo basket. If he knew that, he would have traded directly at the 80 million just now, maybe things would not have turned out like this.
This was considered an accident, but what happened next was the responsibility of the person in charge of the trade fair. Seeing that the deal could not be completed, Qi Yunjing naturally stopped staying to watch the fun. As soon as Qi Yunjing left, Wen Ran quickly followed, but he was blocked on the road.
The one who stopped him was also a middle-aged uncle, but he looked very elegant, and he was very polite when he opened his mouth: "My surname is Wang, and the name is Gong. I just happened to be nearby when you talking to the boss of the jade screen. I heard everything."
Wen Ran looked at him and said, "Is there something wrong?"
Wang Gong said: "The little gentleman calculated the boss's matter just now. I just wanted to ask the young gentleman to calculate it for me. I don't know if you have time, sir?"
Wen Ran glanced at him, then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to tell fortunes, I just talked nonsense. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I think I might have a bit of a crow's mouth. Oh, my friend is still waiting for me to go shopping together. Well, goodbye."
After Wen Ran finished speaking, he ran towards Qi Yunjing without giving this person a chance to speak.
Qi Yunjing glanced back: "It's a business, don't you want to do it?"
Wen Ran clicked his tongue lightly: "I don't accept all kinds of business, this person's luck is over, and what he owes to others should be paid back."
