The box wasn't very big. According to Mitsui Fujisaburo, it was a small porcelain piece, not very nice, and was just a gift for Xing Baohua to appreciate.
Xing Baohua treated it as a trinket and casually opened it to see what kind of artwork it was. When she opened the box, there was something about the size of a small bowl inside.
It should be a cup, but the color looks a bit greenish, no, it should be a light blue-green.
Xing Baohua picked it up with her hands, and Mitsui Fujisaburo, who was standing next to her, quickly bent down and stretched out his two hands as if to protect her.
He was afraid that Xing Baohua might accidentally fall to the ground, so he could catch her.
Xing Baohua was startled by Mitsui Fujisaburo's actions. As a result, Mitsui Fujisaburo panicked even more, and this time he was really frightened.
One looked up, the other looked down, and they looked at each other.
Xing Baohua looked at the object in his hand, then put it in the box and asked, "Mitsui Fuji, what is this?"
Can't you tell?
"I don't know much about porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, or anything like that. This doesn't look like a work of art!"
"Of course it's not a work of art, it's a precious antique."
"How expensive?" Xing Baohua asked curiously, thinking of Mitsui Fuji's tense expression earlier, guessing it wouldn't be cheap.
“I don’t know! It’s never been auctioned, but it’s priceless. As the old saying goes, ‘A mountain of gold and silver is not worth a single tile,’ which refers to this thing,” said Mitsui Tousaburo.
Xing Baohua curled his lip, thinking to himself, "Gold and silver mountains, don't they know the origin of China? The most abundant thing in the whole country is porcelain. Especially the porcelain from central Shandong, which has a history of thousands of years."
"This is a Ru ware tea bowl. A flawless and exquisite piece," Mitsui Fujisaburo said, his eyes gleaming with greed.
Xing Baohua casually placed the box in the drawer under her desk, showing no regard for this priceless treasure, which made Mitsui Fujisaburo feel sorry for it.
"You didn't come here just to bring me something, did you? Is there something you need?" Xing Baohua asked directly.
"This... firstly, it's to deliver a gift; secondly, it's to convey our president's greetings to you; and thirdly, it's about Huahong Technology's IPO."
Xing Baohua sat back in her chair and said, "First, thank you for your kindness. Second, thank you for your chairman's concern. I will be going to Japan to meet with him in person in a while. By the way, what does your chairman like? We've been working together for so long, we should bring him a gift when we meet."
This guy knew that the gift from earlier definitely wasn't given by Mitsui Fujii himself. There must be someone backing him up; Ru ware sounds very valuable.
Mitsui Tousaburo only knew that they shared the same hobby as the president, but he really didn't know anything else because he had very little contact with them, and many people knew about his hobby.
It was difficult to say, and I didn't know how to tell Xing Baohua.
Never mind, I won't say anything more. I can only shake my head and say I don't know.
Xing Baohua understood and said to Mitsui Fuji, "I can't answer your third question right now; it takes time. But we are strategic partners, and we will think of you when the time comes."
In any case, we have to whet their appetite.
