C285 Treasure
"What? "
"They actually sent a medium-sized private plane?"
"Oh my god, this Shangguan family is really generous. No wonder he is the leader of the four small aristocratic families!"
"This medium-sized private jet must be at least tens of millions in size, right?"
"I'm afraid it's not just that. That Shangguan family must have given Old Master Duan the chief flight attendant. In my opinion, there is no one who can't take down a hundred million!"
...
Everyone started to discuss amongst themselves.
Ye Kai smiled and drank his wine.
It was only at this moment that he understood why this congratulatory gift wanted to be famous in public. It was a symbol of a different kind of ability to show off and show off.
Usually, when gifts were presented at this time, the Duan family would look at it in a different light. Secondly, it would let the people of the alliance of the four families understand their own strength.
The stronger one's strength was, the more chances they would have to take the initiative to seek cooperation from others in the future. The opportunities they would get would also be greater. Therefore, this gift was a win-win situation for the Duan family and the gifting party.
At the same time, Ye Kai finally understood why the seven to eight million jade Buddha statues that Qin Yongsheng had prepared for the Qin family were nothing. Of course, compared to the hundreds of millions of medium-sized private planes, the jade Buddha statues could only be considered as gifts. That was all.
Of course, Ye Kai could also see that some families or business giants with similar strength were also using this as an opportunity to compete with each other.
To be able to take out something that would cause everyone to be dumbfounded was not only a symbol of strength, but also a display of one's foundation. Therefore, no one would hide their strength.
"Second, the patriarch of one of the four small aristocratic families, the Wang Family, Wang Heng, step forward!"
With Shangguan Hee as the first person to lead the way, everyone was looking forward to the second person. This was the congratulatory gift of the Wang family, which was also one of the four small families, and they were looking forward to it even more.
The head of the Wang family, Wang Heng, was an old man about the same age as Duan Yanqing. This old man was wearing a white Taichi vest. He slowly walked forward, cupped his hands towards Duan Yanqing and said with a smile, "Brother Duan, I, Wang Heng will not be long-winded. I hope you can live a hundred years longer. Hahahaha..."
After saying that, Wang Heng waved his hand behind him. Immediately, a follower walked over with a long and ancient wooden box in his hand.
"Haha, compared to Shangguan family's gift, I am naturally slightly inferior. Airplanes and tanks are too aggressive. I happen to have a genuine painting of Tang Bohu here. Picture of a Hundred Flowers in Prodigy. Here, I will use flowers to offer Buddha. I'll give it to Brother Duan! "
After saying that, Wang Heng handed the wooden box in his hand to Duan Yanqing.
"My God! It can't be true, right? It's said that this' Hundred Flowers Competing 'painting has been lost for a long time. I didn't expect that it would be obtained by the Wang family!"
"You dare to doubt the authenticity of the Wang Clan's treasure diagram? Idiot, what kind of identity does the Wang Family have? How can you lie? "
" If this picture is real, then the price will definitely be above 100 million! "
Everyone present was quite capable in society and had a lot of assets. However, these people did not have the ability to identify calligraphy and paintings. However, some people had added some common sense to painting and antiques in order to adhere to the style. However, they were able to answer the question as clearly as they could regarding the origin of the 'Hundred Flowers in the Vie'. They knew it like the back of their hand.
Then, Duan Yanqing opened the wooden box in front of everyone's expectant eyes, allowing them to slowly open the authentic work of Tang Bohu for everyone to see.
Naturally, as the painting was unfolded, it caused the surrounding crowd to howl.
Ye Kai was not interested in these antique paintings, but when he took a look at the painting of Hundred Flowers in Flowers in Colors, he actually saw that the painting emitted a spiritual aura similar to that of a jade stone!
Could it be that these ancient paintings were the same as jade? There was a spiritual aura that others could not see? If that was the case... If I were to hold those paintings... Would I be able to absorb their spiritual energy and turn them all into scrap paper?
Ye Kai naturally did not have the chance to put this question into practice.
Only the wealthy Duan family would dare to show off their legendary paintings worth over a hundred million. They did not arrange for any security guards to take control of the situation in case they made a move.
"Shangguan Hee, go and tell your father that he is old. Why did he become more and more petty? Doesn't your family have a pair of shining jade lions from the Qin Dynasty? It was said that in the mouth of that thing, there was a green pill ginseng. If consumed... It could definitely prolong one's life and prevent all diseases from invading. Later on, tell your dad and bring it over for us to take a look. Don't let the entire airplane and tank go! Hahahaha..."
Wang Heng stroked the beard on his chin and could not help but laugh complacently.
"You!"
Shangguan Hee was so angry that he didn't say anything.
In this private match, Wang Heng still had the upper hand.
If nothing unexpected happened, this birthday banquet should be the grandest and happiest gift that Wang Heng had given to Duan Yanqing.
"Hahahaha... The Bai family is the only one left from the four families that hasn't made a move yet. So, Grandpa Wang... Uncle Shangguan, we have already started to fight about the quality of the congratulatory gifts. Does this mean that I am going to take out the congratulatory gift or not? "
A young man in a white suit with a greasy face walked out from the crowd.
The young man laughed as he pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the main table. As he walked, he took out a small jade box from his pocket. The small box was only about ten centimeters square, and the texture of the jade was excellent. It was obviously a color that he had spent a lot of effort to find.
"Bai Zhengqi?!"
"What?!? He is the leader of the Bai family's new generation, and the only person who has been in the family for four lifetimes. He is the young leader of the family? "
"Look at him now. He represents the Bai family to celebrate their birthday. This is obviously the order of Old Master Bai of Bai family. It seems like the patriarch of Bai family will be replaced soon!"
"I don't care who he is, but the jade box that he used to forge with Tian Yu is worth a few million. However, compared to the previous two gifts, the Bai family seems to have some ulterior motives!"
...
Everyone started discussing amongst themselves.
"Nephew Bai, I've seen Tian Yu before. This small jade box of yours... It can indeed be called the best of the best. Furthermore... The carving is indeed perfect. If it was placed in an auction, I'm afraid it wouldn't be worth five or six million. You can't take it down, right? "
Shangguan Hee's tone was flat, but anyone could tell that he was obviously mocking Bai Zhengqi for not being able to match his and Wang Heng's gift.
"Hahahaha, that's not true! Uncle Shangguan's words were ridiculous, Huang Tianxia was so ridiculous!"
That Bai Zhengqi did not give Shangguan Hee any face, and his words were full of sarcasm.
" A mere five to six million jade box, no matter how useless our Bai family is, we wouldn't dare to take it out as Old Master Duan's congratulatory gift! We wouldn't even dare to compete with the two seniors who often use airplanes, tanks, or antiques. But... Hehe, a day ago, a descendant of a branch of our Bai family... By chance, he found a legendary treasure. My father said that only Old Master Duan is worthy of this treasure. Therefore, I have to deliver it to you! "
One had to admit that there was a reason why Bai Zhengqi was able to become the next leader of the Bai family at such a young age.
The few words he said just now didn't give Shangguan Hee and Wang Heng any face. However, they couldn't pick a reason to make trouble for him. More importantly... While he was belittling Shangguan Hee and Old Master Duan, he also took the opportunity to raise Old Master Duan and his Bai family. The so-called 'one stone to count birds' was nothing special.
"Treasure? "
Everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink after hearing Bai Zhengqi's words.
If this word came from an ordinary businessman, then everyone would scoff at him. But now, these words came from the alliance of the four families. The Bai family, which was like Mount Tai, was the next leader of the four families, Bai Zhengqi. Then, this "treasure" must be a treasure!
Besides, if it was something that could be stored in a box made with seven or eight million high-quality jade, it wouldn't be an imitation that could be bought on the street, right?
"Oh? Hehe, Zhengqi, you are becoming more and more like your father back then! Alright, alright, come, what treasure is it? Are you willing to open it and let your Grandpa Duan take a look? "
Duan Yanqing was also very happy after being coaxed by Bai Zhengqi's words.
If what Bai Zhengqi took out was really a treasure, then this treasure would undoubtedly be used as a birthday gift, and it would undoubtedly add a lot of brilliance to Duan Yanqing's face.
"Hahahaha, since Old Master Duan has already said so, then alright, please turn off the lamp!"
After saying that, Bai Zhengqi said to the staff in the banquet hall.2
Although no one understood what Bai Zhengqi was trying to do, since he had said so, could it be that there was something like a night pearl in the jade box? But even so, a luminous pearl could only be sold for tens of millions at most. Why was there a need to be mystifying?
Although the staff did as he was told and turned off the lights, the bodyguards beside Duan Yanqing nervously and orderly shrank the protective circle. One of their hands was also inserted into their pockets as they vigilantly searched for something.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that these people were afraid that in the darkness, someone would do something bad to Old Master Duan and take the opportunity to do something out of line.
Ye Kai lightly shook the red wine in the cup, the corner of his mouth raised, and looked at the bodyguards who were facing a great enemy. It was funny.
He had to admit that these bodyguards were very good. Ye Kai even dared to guess that there was a slight pattern in the encirclement of these people. There was a pattern that Ye Kai could not see through.
However, even though it was like this, in Ye Kai's eyes, they were no different from clowns. A true expert would simply ignore this kind of dense defense. Perhaps, with a single charge, they would be able to completely break down their defenses.
Of course, these were all measured by Ye Kai's skills. Ordinary people might not even be one meter away from Duan Yanqing. They would be beaten up so badly by these guards that they would not be able to find the east, south, west, and throw to the back of the mountain to feed the wild wolves, right?
