chapter 9 Wu Dazong

Apep Marks carefully inspected many collections and felt their smell and texture. He found that his eyesight was extraordinary. As long as he saw something, he would definitely recognize it next time.

The two lingered in the warehouse from ten o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon before leaving the warehouse.

Both of them were starving, so they found a restaurant nearby. Along the way, Apep Marks was always in a state of excitement, because the piece of seed material that might be worth 500 million had a huge psychological impact on him.

Since you have the ability to penetrate the sight and judge the conditions inside the jade material, why not participate in stone gambling?

So while waiting for the food, he asked abruptly: "Diana Neil, where can I gamble on stones?"

Diana Neil was a little surprised. She looked at Apep Marks and asked, "What, you want to bet on stones?"

Apep Marks smiled "hehe": "No, I'm just more interested."

Diana Neil held her chin, looked at him and said: "There are many places to gamble on stones, but the bigger one is the Burmese public market, and the second is the jade market in the west. There is one in the smaller provincial city, Yushan Group have you heard of it?"

Apep Marks shook his head, unimpressed.

Diana Neil said that Yushan Group is the largest jade company in China, involved in all aspects of jade mining, processing and sales, and is the dominant player in the jade industry.

Whether it is Myanmar's public market or the western jade mining area, Yushan Group is the main buyer.

"If you just want to get over the addiction to stone gambling, you can go to the 'Seed Trading' conference held by Yushan Group in half a month." She said.

Apep Marks nodded vigorously: "Okay! Diana Neil, you will accompany me then."

"No problem."Diana Neil smiled, "As an investment consultant, I also want to purchase a batch of investment-worthy seed materials for the company."

When the first dish was just served on the table, Apep Marks received a text message. The text message showed that his bank account had an extra 2.23 million!

He was shocked by this series of numbers, and his heart was beating fast. This is the first time in his life that he has so much money!

Diana Neil glanced at her phone, smiled, and asked, "How about it? Doesn't it feel great to make the first pot of gold?"

Apep Marks nodded vigorously: "It's so cool! Diana Neil, thank you for helping me, otherwise I wouldn't know how to sell the silver coins."

There are many scammers in the antique market, and even if the items are genuine, they may not be able to be sold for the real price.

Diana Neil waved her hand: "Okay, men, mother-in-law and mother-in-law are the most annoying. Hurry up and eat."

The two were starving and chatting while eating. During the conversation, he learned that Tianhua Company's investment consultants were divided into junior, intermediate, senior and special levels. Diana Neil was a special investment consultant. She had great authority and high remuneration.

As a special investment advisor, you can receive a bonus of 10% of your business profits. For example, last year, Diana Neil created a profit of 50 million for the company, and her bonus was as high as 5 million!

This does not include her annual salary of two million, as well as cars, houses, various living allowances, etc. Taken together, her annual income is nearly 10 million!

Diana Neil said that the reason why she entered the antique business was due to the influence of her family. Her grandfather loved literary works, calligraphy and painting, and her Uncle Ignatius who loved her the most was also a professor at the Department of Archeology at Kyungseong University and the top expert on literary works appraisal in the country.

In such an atmosphere, she was exposed to antiques, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. After high school, she was admitted to the Department of Archeology of Beijing University, and her uncle became her graduate tutor.

Diana Neil is the legendary god of learning. She started skipping grades in elementary school and junior high school. She was admitted to Beijing University at the age of fifteen, graduated with a master's degree at the age of twenty, and a doctorate at the age of twenty-two. Moreover, she also majored in English and history and obtained bachelor's degrees in each.

After graduation, she joined Tianhua Company and was promoted four levels in just two years, from an ordinary employee to a special consultant.

When Apep Marks learned about her experience from Diana Neil, he immediately admired her and said with emotion: "Sister Diana Neil, you are simply the goddess in my heart, you are so awesome!"

Diana Neil smiled slightly: "You are not bad, you are so lucky. I have decided to take you with me when I go out in the future."

"Of course, I am Sister Diana Neil's lucky general."Apep Marks smiled.

The two were chatting and laughing. Halfway through the meal, Diana Neil received a phone call. After a few words, she asked Apep Marks: "My uncle has returned to the provincial capital. Do you want him to see your Rujiao porcelain pieces?" "

Apep Marks nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Diana Neil nodded slightly, smiled and said to the person on the phone, "Uncle, we'll be there in a minute."

After dinner, Apep Marks drove back to the hotel to pick up the porcelain pieces. Before leaving the house, he took the painting with him and went to her uncle's house with Diana Neil.

Diana Neil's uncle is named Ignatius Neil, a professor at the Department of Archeology at Beijing University, a great figure in the archaeological field, an expert in cultural relic identification, and a national treasure. It was Apep Marks's honor to be able to take a look at the porcelain pieces.

According to Diana Neil, if Ignatius Neil just helps someone to appreciate it, it will cost tens of thousands. Moreover, over the past decades, he has accumulated a rich collection of more than 10,000 items of various types.

Ignatius Neil is going home this time, firstly to visit relatives, and secondly to help an old friend of his. He will stay in the provincial capital for about a week.

Ignatius Neil is also an honorary professor at Nanjiang University in the provincial capital. He taught here when he was young, so he has a house in Nanjiang University.

The car drove into the Nanjiang University campus and parked under a brick building in the teachers' residential area.

The brick building was old and a little dilapidated. The two of them climbed the stairs to the third floor. Diana Neil knocked on the door on the right.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing glasses appeared.

Seeing Diana Neil, his face immediately filled with smile and said: "Diana, you came so fast."

Diana Neil smiled, stepped forward and hugged the middle-aged man, and said, "Diana misses my uncle."

The middle-aged man was Ignatius Neil. He smiled heartily, then looked at Apep Marks and said, "Is this your friend?"

Diana Neil quickly made an introduction. At this time, a young woman walked out from behind the middle-aged man. She looked to be in her mid-twenties. She is not very beautiful, but she is well-dressed and has a good temperament.

Diana Neil recognized her and smiled: "Jean is here too."

The young woman's name is Jean Oliver, a colleague of Ignatius Neil and a university lecturer. Back then, she was Ignatius Neil's student, and now she is Ignatius Neil's girlfriend.

Jean Oliver nodded and said hello to Apep Marks. After a few words of greeting, Ignatius Neil invited the two of them to his home.

Diana Neil made tea by herself without having to say hello, and then said, "Uncle, Apep Marks got a good thing, and I would like you to help him take a look." She raised her delicate chin to Wu Dong.

Apep Marks quickly took out the Rujiao Azure flask he had put together and the remaining porcelain pieces, and carefully placed them on the table.

Ignatius Neil only glanced at it, adjusted his glasses, gently held the bottle with both hands, and observed it carefully. He looked at it for a few minutes, with a smile on his face, and said, "Well, that's right, it's a genuine Rujiao product. It's rare that it's so complete."

Apep Marks was ecstatic and glanced at Diana Neil, who was also very happy. She said: "Uncle, do you think this thing is easy to get rid of?"

"Are you going to take action?"Ignatius Neil thought for a while, "I know a few friends who collect porcelain pieces. You can ask them. Taking this bottle alone, its value should be no less than 10 million. These few points If you have small defects, ask an expert to repair them, I don’t think it’s a big problem.”

"As for the other porcelain tiles..." He glanced at the remaining porcelain tiles, "They are all from Rujiao, and they are worth a million or so."
