Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

The old man stared intently at Li Qin's wooden box and the jade piece with wide eyes.

He was so excited that he unconsciously stood up, his chest heaving rapidly, and his breathing heavy.

After hearing the other party call out two names, Li Qin immediately felt confident.

He wasn't quite sure what sandalwood was, but he was very familiar with the term "imperial green."

In novels about gambling on jade, the best supporting character for showing off is someone who, whenever he appears, is guaranteed to fetch a high price.

Ignoring the old man's expression, he quickly took out his phone and started searching.

The Imperial Green Square Brand, which sold for over 1 million yuan at auction in the capital more than a decade ago, measures 47.9x32x14.5mm.

Looking at my own piece, it's definitely bigger than small.

With just this simple search, Li Qin's heart was already pounding uncontrollably.

sloppy...

He had thought the jade would be valuable, but he hadn't imagined it would be worth this much.

According to his guess, it should be around ten or twenty million, right?

But now a piece of imperial green jade from more than ten years ago has sold for more than 1 million. So this bigger piece, which has been around for so long, must be at least 2 million.

Money is a powerful motivator; what if this news leaks out and someone starts targeting us...?

Damn it! We were so careless.

“Young man, I need to examine this piece of jade carefully. Please have a seat for a moment.”

The old man took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and looked solemnly at the piece of imperial green jade before speaking to Li Qin in a deep voice.

Li Qin didn't say anything, but nodded to indicate that the other party could begin.

What else can we say? We're not going to get it tested?

What if the old man misjudged him?

Since we're already here, let's get it appraised first.

Half an hour later, after repeated observation and testing, the old man carefully handed the jade back to Li Qin.

“Young man, after my repeated examination, I can confirm that this piece of jade is imperial green.”

Excitement gleamed in the old man's eyes. He was amazed that he would be able to handle such a large piece of imperial green jade in his lifetime, and that it was authenticated by him.

For every appraiser, it is a great honor.

"Does the old gentleman know of any channels through which this jade stone can be sold?"

Li Qin nodded, then suddenly asked a question that surprised the old man.

This was something Li Qin had planned during the initial appraisal.

If the old man eventually tells him it's not Imperial Green and then tries every means to smear his stuff, then without saying a word, he'll take the item and leave immediately.

Try to get it tested again in a few different places.

If the other party conducts the test honestly and does not conceal anything, Li Qin plans to try to extract information from him to see if there are any ways to make a move.

"You're selling this piece of imperial green jade? Such a large piece with no cracks. After it's carved by a famous artist, whether it's made into a bracelet or a large pendant, its value will be increased even further."

The old man was taken aback. To maximize the value of such good material, it was naturally necessary to further process it.

But this hothead in front of me wanted to sell it right away.

"Yes, I urgently need the money and can't wait any longer, so I'm thinking of getting it cashed out as soon as possible. I wonder if you have any connections, sir?"

"May I ask your honorable surname, young brother?" The old man's expression suddenly turned serious.

"My name is Li Qin, and what is yours, sir?"

"My surname is Fang, and my given name is Tian. You can call me Lao Fang or Fang Lao, it's fine either way."

"Xiao Li, are you really planning to sell this jade?" Fang Tian asked again to confirm.

"Yes, I'm sure." Li Qin nodded with absolute certainty.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll make a call." Fang Tian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then took out his phone and started making a call right in front of Li Qin.

"Hello, Mr. Lu? This is Lao Fang. Here's the thing, a young man came to the store today for jadeite appraisal..."

Fang Tian explained Li Qin's visit to the store in one go, and finally said, "Now he plans to sell this piece of imperial green jade. I just want to ask, are we willing to buy it?"

"Okay! Okay! I get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Tian smiled at Li Qin and said:

"I won't lie to you, I just spoke with the CEO of our head office, and he said he intends to directly acquire this piece of imperial green."

"As for the price, we'll have to wait until he brings professionals from headquarters over for another appraisal before we can confirm it."

“He will take the earliest flight here and should arrive tonight. We can reach a deal by tomorrow at the latest.”

Li Qin grinned and said, "Okay, I'll come over again tomorrow afternoon."

With that, he carefully put away the imperial green jade and left with Fang Tian seeing him off.

Back home, Li Qin suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Is he about to become a billionaire?

Even without any carving or processing, based on its size alone, Li Qin believed that its value would definitely not be less than nine figures.

Once the money arrives, the villa plan can be implemented.

Excitedly, I opened my phone and started looking for seaside villas. I figured I'd just take a look first and then pay for them later.

Li Qin spent the night in a state of excitement.

When he woke up again, Xiao Sizi and Chengyang were already on his left and right, looking at him with adorable eyes.

"Little Nang~ Are you dreaming? Why are you laughing like that?"

The little princess was lying on the bed, her hands supporting her chin as she looked at Li Qin with curiosity.

"I dreamt that I ate Mingda! Waaah!"

Li Qin rolled over and pinned Si Zi to the bed, then kept pressing his head against the little girl's belly.

He made gurgling noises, pretending to eat non-stop.

"Hehehe~ Oh dear~ I don't want to get chopped off~ Hehehe~"

The sudden ambush made Sizi laugh nonstop.

The little hands and legs waved and bounced incessantly, indicating resistance.

"Second sister~ save me~ hehe~"

"Little Mingda actually peeked at me while I was sleeping! No way, I'm going to eat you up! Waaah~"

"Ah~ I didn't mean it~ Hehe~ I won't do it again next time~"

After being teased by Li Qin'ang's hands, the little princess immediately surrendered and admitted defeat.

"Little Nangjun, I'm hungry! I want seven packs of [something], some dumplings, some cream buns, and some noodles~"

After playing on the bed for a while, Jizi said she wanted to eat breakfast.

Without any hesitation, Li Qin got up and dressed.

Stepping out of the bedroom, Li Lizhi sat properly on the living room sofa.

Upon seeing Li Qin emerge, he stood up and quickly greeted him, "Good morning, young master."

"morning."

"Young master, we can stay here for the whole day today. Would you be willing to take us to the underwater world and water world you mentioned yesterday?"

Before Li Qin could enter the washroom, Li Lizhi took the initiative to say that they had plenty of time today.

"Yes, Mommy agreed to let us play here for a day~ Little Nangjun, I want to be really happy~ I want to go to the ocean floor~"

Little Sizi waved her hands excitedly, sharing the good news.

Li Qin was taken aback. He agreed just like that?

However, she then remembered that she still had to sell the Imperial Green jadeite today, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation:

"Well, I'm afraid I can't do it today. I have to go out this afternoon to take care of some things."
