251: Chapter 251 Eastern Han Dynasty Dushan Jade Disc with Dragon and Phoenix Design

Han Jingyang looked at Liu Jing in surprise.

What is wrong with this little woman?

Has she finally opened her mind?

Although it was just a rough idea, the logic was sound.

It is a pity that I am really too lazy to put in that much effort.

Zou Yigui's paintings are indeed rare, and high-quality pieces are not cheap. If you really want to hoard them, it requires a lot of capital, not to mention the cost of hype and the risk of failing to drive up the price.

The returns, however, would not be very high.

Most importantly, the cycle is too long—from hoarding to final liquidation, it takes several years or even over a decade.

Institutions and merchants specializing in this trade have the patience for it.

Why would a private player like me bother?

With that time and energy, I might as well catch a few more ghosts.

However, the idea is truly sound.

Therefore, Han Jingyang wrapped his arm around Liu Jing's shoulder and smiled, "This can be done, but I am not interested. If you want to earn some retirement money, discuss it with Xiaoya. I will provide the funds, and you two can put in the effort."

"Really?"

"Yeah, my money is just sitting there anyway."

"Thank you, Boss."

"Why are you being polite with me? Let's go, let's head back."

Han Jingyang and Liu Jing returned the way they came.

Although it was a bit of a pity to miss out on that painting by Zou Yigui, which was suspected to be a dharma instrument, the overall harvest was not small.

He had obtained four items from Wang Anzhong in one go.

The first two were even high-quality fifth-grade items.

And the cost was extremely low.

With those two fifth-grade items, it would not be a loss even if he had spent the whole day wandering around with Wang Anzhong.

Not to mention the two pieces of Han jade he just got were not bad either.

"Name: Eastern Han Dynasty Dushan Jade Carved Dragon and Phoenix Pattern Jade Bi."

"Grade: Seventh Grade."

"Attribute: Festive +1."

"Skill: Harmony and Perfection."

"Name: Eastern Han Dynasty Xiu Jade Carved Cicada."

"Grade: Sixth Grade."

"Attribute: Yin Energy +3."

"Skill: Silent as a Cicada."

The grades were not high, but they both had skills, which made it very profitable.

The skill "Harmony and Perfection" is a beautiful blessing for married couples and lovers, allowing two people to be more affectionate. Although it has no combat value, it is very valuable when used on the right people. It is best used in a formation; if a young couple's home has such a dharma instrument blessing, and the skill is used once every ten years, they can definitely grow old together.

"Silent as a Cicada" is different; it is a typical offensive skill that can make the target feel the sensation of a late autumn cicada, causing them to enter a state of trembling, speechless, and being on the verge of death.

Used in actual combat, this skill can play a quite good auxiliary role.

If used well, it can directly turn the tide of battle.

If these two items were sold, the total price would start at six million.

And the cost was only ten thousand yuan!

This profit is countless times higher than speculating on ancient paintings.

And the liquidation is fast; buying and selling today is not a problem at all.

The jade cicada goes without saying; finding someone knowledgeable, like Xu Xin, Zhang Zhiyang, or the monk Kongyun, would make it easy to sell.

The jade bi would not be hard to sell either. If he explained the function of this jade bi, Wang Zhiwei would buy it without hesitation to use with his second wife.

However, Han Jingyang still felt a bit regretful.

Zou Yigui's painting, a dharma instrument.

Even if it were just an ordinary painting, as long as it was a genuine work by Zou Yigui, it would be precious. Although the market price would not be very high, the number of existing works by Zou Yigui is indeed small, and each one is a unique existence. Coupled with Zou Yigui's painting level and life history, the collection value of this painting would be far greater than its market value. Buying it back and hanging it at home is much more cost-effective than selling it for money.

Moreover, Zou Yigui's fine brushwork flower style is more in line with modern aesthetics and can be directly hung in a room as decoration. Hanging such a piece would really be a huge face-saver.

Not to mention that this was also a dharma instrument, making its value in all aspects even higher.

It could pull people into a dream even without appraisal, so what about after appraisal?

Based on previous experience, the attributes after appraisal would only get better.

What a pity.

Just as Han Jingyang and Liu Jing left the village entrance, his phone rang; it was Wang Junyan calling.

Why is this little woman calling?

Could it be...

Han Jingyang thought of a possibility, took a gentle breath, and answered, "What is the matter?"

"Mr. Han, where are you?"

"I have gotten onto the expressway."

"It is like this, my dad asked me to ask you if you discovered anything wrong?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Really, something just suddenly came up."

"Is it very urgent?"

"Yes, very urgent."

"Then when will you be free?"

"In five days or even a week."

"Oh, I remembered, you are going to..." Wang Junyan said this and quickly apologized, "Mr. Han, then I will not disturb you. I will visit again when you have time."

"You are welcome."

Han Jingyang hung up the phone and smiled, "This young lady is quite sensible; she did not pester me."

Liu Jing asked while driving, "Boss, does this count as taking on a job in advance?"

"I did not promise anything."

"If nothing goes wrong, can it escape from your hands? Wang Anzhong and that family do not understand, but can that young lady Wang Junyan not understand? If they need to find someone, they will definitely prioritize you."

"That is why I said she is quite sensible. Even though she clearly wants me to handle things, she gritted her teeth and did not reveal anything. When she heard me say I was busy, she hung up immediately without entanglement or dragging things out."

"Who are you? You are the famous Mr. Han. Of course she would not dare to be presumptuous in front of you," Liu Jing said, pouting, "But I always feel that the little girl has bad intentions."

"Oh?"

"The way she looks at you is very different, her eyes are shining, just like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb."

"Hahaha, you are jealous."

"Hmph, not at all. What is there for me to be jealous of? I just feel uncomfortable looking at it."

Han Jingyang was amused and laughed out loud.

The little thoughts of these young women are indeed funny; whenever they see a pretty woman, they think she will be a love rival.

However, Wang Junyan's figure and appearance are also quite good, her temperament is good, her personality is cheerful, and she is a serious practitioner, a young genius with dual cultivation of Dao and martial arts. Her conditions in all aspects are quite outstanding.

But then again, not all women will like a man who is already taken.

Han Jingyang knew his conditions were good, but he was not narcissistic enough to think all women would like him.

In Yihe Village.

Wang Junyan put down her phone and spread her hands towards her father, Wang Anzhong, and another middle-aged man with a bird's nest hairstyle who was looking worried, "See? He really has something to do."

Wang Anzhong asked suspiciously, "Does he really have something to do?"

Wang Junyan nodded calmly, "Yeah, a senior brother of mine mentioned it to me, saying he was going to do something big recently, so there is no need for him to lie. Let us wait until this is over. Or we can find someone else to take a look. Although there are not many experts in Quancheng, there are still some."

Wang Anzhong turned his head to look at the bird's nest hairstyle, "Binzi, there is nothing we can do then. I brought him to the door, so I have not let you down."

The middle-aged man with the bird's nest hairstyle sighed, "I suspect he discovered the problem and is unwilling to get involved in this."

Wang Anzhong frowned, "Is your situation... very troublesome?"
