Chapter 22: Patience is not cowardice, but preparation!

Jiangling Street.

No. 102, Building 5, Xing'an Community.

Xiao Fumin put on his reading glasses and carefully looked at the pottery he bought for 50,000 yuan on Xia Ye.

This object has been brand new after being washed with clean water, and the patterns on the pottery have become clearly visible.

"Daddy, this must be an item from the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Xiao Fumin wiped the piece of pottery lovingly, slowly took off his reading glasses, and said excitedly, “Xiaoye, you are really going to make a fortune this time! This object is not only a ceramic from the Hongwu period, but also Shen Wansan 's cornucopia. !”

Xia Ye said with a shocked face, “Dad, did you read that correctly? Is this really the cornucopia lost by Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's absolutely true! Fortunately, I have done in-depth research on Ming Dynasty objects, so I can judge something about it based on historical research. Other treasure appraisal experts may have been deceived by the outer glaze. ”

Xia Ye suppressed her excitement and asked humbly, “Dad, can you tell me in detail how you knew it was Shen Wansan 's cornucopia? It is said that Shen Wansan 's cornucopia disappeared into the sea with him, didn't it? "

Xiao Fumin said with a smile, “Judging from the texture of the pottery, the outer pottery glaze is very light, which means that it is wrapped in a metal vessel and baked. If you listen to its sound again, it is not crisp but thick, indicating that there is an interlayer inside. If If I guessed correctly, the outside is made of pottery glaze, and the inside is a cornucopia of pure gold.”

Xia Ye took a deep breath and quickly picked up the object to observe and listen to the sound as Xiao Fumin said.

"It's wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

Xiao Fumin also said without hesitation, “Fortunately, I have done in-depth research on Ming Dynasty objects, otherwise I would definitely conclude that this object is an ordinary pottery from the Hongwu period, and it is worth only ten or twenty thousand at most."

Xia Ye suddenly understood.

No wonder the man went through so many buyers but still refused to sell the cornucopia.

Most of the appraisal experts may have been surprised. The price they gave was only ten to twenty thousand, so the man naturally refused to sell it!

And because of his kind thoughts, he was moved by the man's filial piety. It seemed that he spent 50,000 yuan to buy something that was only worth 10,000 to 20,000 yuan on the market, but it actually brought him a huge surprise!

God will never let down a person with good intentions!

Xia Ye excitedly held the cornucopia and asked, "Daddy, how much is this cornucopia worth now?"

"If my inference is correct, the cornucopia made of pure gold is worth at least 800,000 to 1 million based on the current market value."

Fifty thousand turned into one million!

Is this God's kind feedback to him?

Xia Ye smiled, very happily.

"Dad, can you help me find a reliable buyer? If the transaction is successful, I can give you 20%."

If it weren't for Xiao Fumin's appraisal, Xia Ye might have regarded this thing as an ordinary Ming Dynasty object.

The rule in the antique shop is that everyone who sees it has a share. Xiao Fumin's willingness to tell the truth about this object reflects his rare integrity.

This made Xia Ye trust the other party even more, and she was willing to share the proceeds from the sale of this object with Xiao Fumin.

Xiao Fumin quickly shook his head and said, “Xiaoye, I can't take advantage of you. Twenty percent is too much. We can't break the rules of the antique shop."

These words made Xia Ye even more convinced of Xiao Fumin's integrity, and she said firmly, “Godfather, you are responsible for helping me find a buyer, and I will give you 10% of the sale. I can't lower it any lower, and I feel so bad." I’m so sorry. If you hadn’t told me the secret inside this object, I would have lost all my money.”

Xiao Fumin stopped refusing and said with a smile from ear to ear, “Xiaoye, if this thing is sold, then you will be rewarded for all your hard work!"

Xia Ye smiled and said, "Thanks to you, you told me to be kind to others, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to have such good luck."

Xiao Fumin nodded and said, “Xiaoye, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good. If you can find your way back, your godfather will be happy for you! From now on, you must treat your wife and children well. Only those who treat their wives well can keep their wealth!"

"Okay! I will definitely treat Jiang Mu and Qiqi well, then I will leave this cornucopia to you to keep for me."

"Don't worry, Xiaoye, I will definitely help you find a suitable buyer as soon as possible. Before that, I will keep it carefully and there will never be any mistakes."

"Godfather, I can trust you!"

Just when Xia Ye and Xiao Fumin were having a heated chat, Xiao Yun opened the door and walked in with an unhappy look on her face.

"You two were chatting so happily. If someone who didn't know better thought you were father and son, I would be an outsider."

Xiao Fumin said with a smile, “ Xiaoyun , come and take a look! Xiaoye has made a fortune this time. She spent 50,000 yuan to buy an antique worth one million yuan."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, “I have been listening at the door for a long time. This guy is so lucky! Why am I not so lucky?"

" Xiaoyun , Xiaoye's ability to see how extraordinary this thing is is not just due to luck."

"Stop praising this kid in front of me. It makes my ears almost grow calluses. After a while, this kid makes some money, but he doesn't know who he is anymore, and then he goes to gamble all his money!"

At this time, Xiao Yun did not fully believe in Xia Ye's character. Even though Xia Ye had made many changes now, she still could not change the original stereotype.

" Xiaoyun , is it so difficult to admit that someone is good? Xiaoye is a good boy. Don't just criticize him and look down on him. He has changed his ways now and no longer gambles. You can't dampen his enthusiasm for change."

Xiao Yun rolled her eyes, pointed at Xia Ye and said, "Come out quickly, I have something to talk to you about."

Xia Ye put down the cornucopia in her hand, handed it to Xiao Fumin's hand, and said, "Godfather, let's go out for a while."

"What can't we talk about at home?"

Xiao Yun said with a serious face, “It's about the case. It's not convenient to disclose it to you now."

Xiao Fumin suddenly realized, "Okay, then you take Xiao Ye to find a restaurant to eat and chat."

"I know, let's go out."

She left the house with Xia Ye and closed the door with a bang .

Xia Ye followed Xiao Yun downstairs and asked, "How was it going to be investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission today?"

Xiao Yun paused and sighed, “You kid was right. I found someone I shouldn't have found. This time, even the director asked me to keep a low profile."

"Xiao Yun, with your current ability, you can't defeat them."

Xiao Yun punched the wall and said angrily, “I just can't give in! Because I can't fight, I don't do anything? This goes against my original intention of being a policeman. The police is a very sacred profession in my eyes. No one should be allowed to blaspheme!”

Xia Ye patted Xiao Yun's shoulder and said, “A little impatience will mess up a big plan! Patience is not cowardice, but preparation for attack! Pull back your clenched fist in order to punch out with greater strength."

Xiao Yun looked back at Xia Ye with a shocked face.

Such philosophical words could come from the mouth of a bad gambler?
