Chapter 160 Jade Buddha

Qin Haodong said: "Don't worry, it has been prepared a long time ago, and it will definitely satisfy the old man when you take it out."

Lin Momo said, "Can't you let me see what you have prepared? You have to make it so mysterious."

Qin Haodong said with a smile: "If you take it out first, there will be no surprises. This is a secret between me and Tang Tang, and I can't tell you for the time being."

The little guy followed up and said, "Yes, yes, this is the secret of Baba and I. I can't tell others. I want to surprise my grandfather."

Lin Momo rolled her eyes at Qin Haodong and said, "Okay, just let you father and daughter toss and see what tricks you can come up with."

Because Lin Xiaotian is old and likes quietness on weekdays, he built a manor on the outskirts of Jiangnan City and lived there all the time.

Although Qin Haodong and Lin Momo came very early, when they arrived at the manor, there were already guests one after another. Brother Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhigao arrived early and greeted the guests together at the door.

And Lin Pingchao dressed up very energetic today, wearing an expensive designer suit, following behind Lin Zhigao, as if he was the core image of the third generation of the Lin family.

When he saw Qin Haodong and Lin Momo walking over with the little guy, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly greeted them with a smile: "Sister Tang, you're here."

Lin Momo said, "Am I late?"

"It's not too late, it's just as long as I'm busy here. Sister Tang, go and rest inside."

According to Lin Pingchao's idea, I wish I could hide Lin Momo, so that I can add more impression points in front of many guests. You must know that today's guests are all distinguished guests, and many people have a very large influence in Lin Xiaotian. , as long as someone praises him, it will definitely increase his impression in the old man's heart.

Lin Momo also knew that he was careful, but she didn't care, and said, "I still have to take care of Tang Tang, so I'll have to work hard for you."

After finishing speaking, she took Qin Haodong to the manor.

In the hall of the villa, although the old man Lin Xiaotian is 80 years old, he is in good spirits. Today, he is wearing a bright red Tang suit and sitting in the middle of the hall beamingly to receive the greetings from the guests.

The old man has been operating in Jiangnan City for many years and has made many friends. Today, there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as elites from all walks of life. The more important people of these people were left to take their seats in the hall, and most of them were given to the auditorium next to them.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you!"

After entering the door, the little guy happily rushed towards Lin Xiaotian.

The old man was originally sitting on the Taishi chair, but when he saw the little guy, he immediately raised his eyebrows and hurriedly stood up and hugged her in his arms: "Tang Tang, why don't you come to see the grandfather for so long, you want to kill me? already."

"Tang Tang also misses Grandpa." The little guy hugged the old man's neck and said after kissing his cheek, "Grandpa, Baba and Mama are also here."

"Your father is here?" Lin Xiaotian looked surprised.

"Yes, Baba is here, right there." The little guy said and pointed back to Qin Haodong.

Lin Xiaotian glanced at Qin Haodong, then looked at Lin Momo with inquiring eyes.

"Grandpa, this is my boyfriend Qin Haodong and Tang Tang's godfather."

Lin Momo didn't say much, but she introduced Qin Haodong's identity in an all-round way and explained the doubts in the old man's heart.

Qin Haodong stepped forward and said, "Hello, old man, my name is Qin Haodong, and I'm Momo's boyfriend."

"Oh!" Lin Xiaotian nodded, and began to look at Qin Haodong with bright eyes. After a while, he nodded and said softly, "You are not bad."

The emotion on his face when he spoke was calm, and he didn't know if he really appreciated Qin Haodong or if he was just polite.

After saying hello, Qin Haodong and Lin Momo sat next to each other, while the little guy directly leaned on the old man's arms.

As time goes by, more and more people come to pay birthday wishes to the old man.

Near noon, there was a commotion outside the door, and two middle-aged men walked into the hall hand in hand. Qin Haodong glanced and saw two old acquaintances, one was Qian Duoduo, the president of the Jiangnan Jade Association, and the other was Guo Feng, the director of the Jiangnan Antiques Appraisal Center and an antique appraisal expert.

Although these two people are not official administrative officials, they are definitely respected and authoritative figures in the antique world and jade world, so as soon as they appeared on the stage, many people immediately surrounded them and followed them around.

Mr. Lin Xiaotian has three hobbies in his life, jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting, plus he has run the Lin Group for many years, so he has a very good relationship with Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng, and belongs to old friends for many years. After seeing the two of them entering the door, I quickly got up to greet them.

After greeting the old man, Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng were about to take their seats, but they saw Qin Haodong sitting next to them.

Qian Duodao came to Qin Haodong with a big stride, and said with a look of surprise, "Doctor Qin, you are here too."

Guo Feng also walked up. After he brought the Xuande stove back last time, he asked many experts to re-evaluate it, and finally determined that it was the genuine Xuande stove.

Because of this, he admired Qin Haodong's ability to identify antiques, and came to greet Qin Haodong respectfully.

Both Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng are both experts in the industry, a Beidou-level figure in Mount Tai, a well-deserved God of Wealth, but I didn't expect such two super awesome characters to be so respectful to this young man, which immediately aroused the guests' concern. Qin Haodong's curiosity.

Lin Xiaotian is also very aware of his two old friends. He is usually a person with eyes above the top, but now he has such high regard for his new grandson-in-law, which makes him quite curious, and looks at Qin Haodong again. More depth.

After saying hello, Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng simply sat around Qin Haodong and exchanged jade and antiques with him.

Qin Haodong doesn't know much about these two things. He distinguishes rough jadeite from antiques entirely by aura. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, so he basically doesn't talk much, only Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng talk about it. of eloquence.

But because of this, he gave these two people an unfathomable feeling.

Time passed quickly, and at 11:30 noon, Lin Momo helped Lin Xiaotian to the birthday banquet hall. There were more than 20 tables in the auditorium, and there was a big birthday character in the middle. Lin Xiaotian just walked into the auditorium when applause broke out immediately.

After the guests were all seated, the host invited by the Lin family spent a lot of money to start a sensational performance. He introduced the life story of the old man with emotion. Next, the juniors of the Lin family wished the old man his birthday and presented their own gifts.

There are no clear rules for this kind of birthday celebration, but generally speaking, it is from the outside to the inside, from the old to the young. The first to present birthday gifts are the distant relatives of the Lin family, and finally it is the two brothers Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhigao. .

"Dad, I wish you a long life and all the best."

After Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, the gift he prepared was a very delicate book of everlasting youth. Although this thing is not expensive, it has far-reaching meaning and is the most suitable for the old man's birthday.

Then there was Lin Zhigao. After saying a few auspicious words, he presented a longevity plaque.

Logically, it should be Lin Momo's turn next, but Lin Pingchao came to Lin Xiaotian first and said, "Grandpa, grandson wishes you a long life, a blessing like the East Sea, and a long life like Nanshan."

After he finished speaking, he waved to the bodyguard behind him, and the bodyguard brought up a brocade box more than one foot high.

This box is inlaid with gold and jade, and it seems that the packaging alone is of great value. This immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all wanted to see what was in the box.

Lin Pingchao seemed to arouse everyone's curiosity, but he did not move quickly. He slowly opened the packaging of the brocade box, and then gently took out a jade Buddha about 20 centimeters high from the inside.

The material of this Jade Buddha is crystal clear and white, delicate and moist, and almost flawless. It looks like the fat meat of a fat sheep that has just been cut, and the luster is like condensed grease.

"My God, mutton fat jade, this turned out to be a top-grade mutton fat jade..."

"Sheep fat jade is not surprising, but a jade Buddha with such a big fat jade is valuable..."

"As expected of the eldest young master of the Lin family, it is really hard to wish the old man his birthday. How much does such a jade Buddha cost..."

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Lin Pingchao's mouth filled with pride, and he held the Jade Buddha in both hands and sent it to Lin Xiaotian.

"Grandpa, it is said that jade can support people. If you put this jade Buddha in the bedroom, you will definitely live a hundred years."

Lin Zhigao hurriedly said next to him: "Pingchao has long remembered the old man's birthday. This is the Jade Buddha he bought at the auction for 12 million in order to wish the old man his birthday."

The old man Lin Xiaotian liked jade and antiques the most in his life. When he saw this mutton fat jade Buddha, he immediately smiled and took it in his hand. I have a heart."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Qian Duoduo next to him: "President Qian, how about you look at this Jade Buddha with your palms and eyes?"

Qian Duoduo is an expert in jade identification, a leader in the jade industry in the south of the Yangtze River. He took this jade Buddha in his hand, looked at it for four or five minutes, and then said: "It's really good, this is the first-class mutton fat jade, and the carving The workmanship is delicate and lifelike, and at first glance, it is from the hands of famous artists.

If I look at it, the value of this Jade Buddha should be between 20 million and 30 million. Brother Lin can buy it for 12 million, which is really a bargain. "

Lin Pingchao said: "It was a small private auction at the time. Others would not bid any more if they reached this price. Otherwise, if I wish my grandfather a birthday, I will buy it no matter how expensive it is."

Not only is this guy gloomy, but he is also good at stalking horses, and unconsciously expresses his filial piety.

After playing the jade Buddha, Qian Duoduo did not return it to Lin Xiaotian, but handed it over to Qin Haodong next to him: "Mr. Qin, help me grow my eyes and see if what I just identified is correct."

After saying this, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Haodong. They didn't understand how this young man could make Qian Duoduo so respectful. He is the president of the Jade Association. Could it be that this young man's ability to identify jade is better than that of him? Is he still taller?

Qin Haodong took the jade and looked at it from top to bottom. Lin Pingchao said proudly, "How is it? Is my jade Buddha still reasonable?"

The purpose of his report today is to show off the limelight at the old man's birthday banquet and suppress Lin Momo, which is why he spent so much money. At the same time, he is also very confident in this mutton fat jade Buddha. To the father's favor.

Unexpectedly, Qin Haodong gave him a slight smile, then raised the jade Buddha in his hand and slammed it to the ground, only to hear a click, the mutton fat jade Buddha worth more than ten million suddenly became a piece of the ground.
