Chapter 145 Birthday Gift
However, because Qin Haozhi was known for his integrity, he could not give anything too expensive, so he gave a birthday message he wrote himself.
Qin Haozhi has beautiful handwriting and is well-known in City F, so it is not considered shabby.
For family members, what matters most is the thought.
Then there is Qin Haozheng’s eldest daughter, Qin Yiqing.
Qin Yiqing is a fashion designer, so she personally designed a Zhongshan suit for Qin Haozheng. The fabric and style were the best she could afford.
Qin Yiqing's husband gave her a pair of lion head playthings with Qilin patterns made of medium to high-quality jadeite. Because of the intricate craftsmanship, they are very valuable.
Because it is a mid-to-high-quality jadeite, Qin Haozheng likes it very much.
Then it was Qin Yifan's turn. He gave Gu Ning a ring made of imperial green jadeite the size of a quail egg that he had bought from Gu Ning before.
Although the size of the imperial green gem is compared to a quail egg, it is slightly larger than a quail egg, so it is just right to be made into a jade ring.
As soon as they heard it was imperial green, it immediately caused a sensation. Qin Haozheng was so shocked that he couldn't react for a while, and felt it was extremely unreal.
It was not until he got the jade ring in his hand and checked it that he was sure that it was truly imperial green. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Yifan, where did you get this imperial green jadeite?" Qin Haozheng asked.
"A friend of mine happened to have a small piece of imperial green jadeite to sell, so I bought it and asked the carving master of Yicuixuan to carve it." Because Gu Ning had previously instructed not to reveal that the imperial green jadeite was bought from her, and because she didn't want to attract other attention and trouble, Qin Yifan didn't say who it was.
In addition to making the ring, there was still a thumb-sized piece of jade left, which Qin Yifan made into a pendant and kept for himself.
"Oh, there's one more." Qin Yifan took out another box and said, "Although today is your 60th birthday, I also prepared a gift for my mother."
"Oh! I have one too! What is it?" Jiang asked in surprise.
"See for yourself." Qin Yifan deliberately kept the secret, letting Jiang open it and see for himself.
Jiang has been following Qin Haozheng for so many years and has been exposed to jadeite.
"So mysterious!" Jiang scolded with a smile, took the box, and opened it.
What caught the eye was a three-colored, thumb-wide wing-shaped jade pendant, and a pair of round earrings of average size.
Seeing that it was jadeite, Qin Haozheng on the side immediately took it over to have a look.
After taking a look, Qin Haozheng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "This, this is Fu Lu Shou Jade."
The words "Fu Lu Shou Jadeite" once again caused a sensation. Today, Qin Yifan can be said to have made a big move!
"Did you buy this from your friend?" Qin Haozheng asked.
"Yes," Qin Yifan replied, and Qin Haozheng didn't ask any more questions.
Then, the guests presented gifts one after another. Naturally, they were all rare and valuable things, ranging in value from hundreds of thousands to millions.
There are also those who give millions, but they are a minority. After all, giving too much is not good as the intention to curry favor is too obvious and will cause gossip.
Everyone knows that Qin Haozheng likes jadeite, but good jadeite is not easy to get. Even if you can get it, it is too expensive.
Just like the jade pendants and rings given by Qin Yiqing’s husband and Qin Yifan, they cost at least seven or eight million!
Not only Li Zhenyu and his sister came from the Li family, but the head of the Li family came in person. After all, Li Shengming, the head of the Li family, and Qin Hao were sworn brothers. If he didn't come, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to Qin Hao?
The item made by the Li family was naturally extraordinary. It was a Pixiu made of medium to high-quality jadeite. Because the jadeite material was limited, it was not very big, but it was worth tens of millions.
When he arrived at An Guangyao's place, he took out the landscape painting "People by the Pond" by Wu Guanzhong that Gu Ning had given him.
As soon as this thing came out, it caused a sensation again.
Because Wu Guanzhong is a contemporary painter, most people know his name.
So, what shocked them was not the monetary value of the painting, but its collection and commemorative value, because there are many things that cannot be bought with money.
"What? Wu Guanzhong's landscape painting "People by the Pond"? Is it real or fake? Let me see it." A 70-year-old man sitting next to him stood up excitedly and walked over when he heard this.
This person is the museum director, president of the Antiques Association, and antique expert, Gu Changjiang.
Gu Changjiang's words were not meant to question whether the landscape painting "People by the Pond" in An Guangyao's hand was fake. He was just purely excited and wanted to take a look.
Qin Haozheng was also very excited, because he not only liked jade, but was also very interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
An Guangyao also recognized Gu Changjiang, so when he heard the words, he immediately showed the scroll to Gu Changjiang.
Qin Haozheng also came over immediately, and other antiques, calligraphy and painting enthusiasts also gathered around impatiently.
At first, some people questioned whether the painting was real or fake, after all, authentic works are hard to come by! However, after verification, Gu Changjiang's affirmation dispelled some people's doubts.
Gu Changjiang sighed, "A few years ago, Wu Guanzhong's painting 'BJ Snow' was sold for nearly five million. This painting 'People in the Pond' is definitely not less than that 'BJ Snow'!"
Hearing this, everyone gasped. This meant that this painting was worth no less than five million.
However, everyone had their own thoughts about An Guangyao's move, thinking that he was trying to please the Qin family, otherwise why would he send such a valuable gift! Therefore, many people looked at him with a changed look.
An Guangyao didn't mind at all, and explained: "Mr. Qin, I believe you also know that my Shenghua Real Estate was acquired! This painting was actually given by the current owner of Shenghua Real Estate. She just spent a thousand yuan to pick it up at a bargain, so please don't despise it, Mr. Qin."
What? Pick up a bargain?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned! They only spent a thousand dollars and got a famous painting worth five million? How lucky!
If what An Guangyao said is true, then the boss behind the acquisition of Shenghua Real Estate is no simple person!
"Haha! I like it so much! How could I possibly dislike it!" Qin Hao laughed. He really liked this gift! So he didn't hide his happiness.
Although he was very curious about who the boss behind Shenghua Real Estate was, he did not investigate. After all, if the other party did not announce it, it meant that it could not be exposed for the time being.
Then the gift giving continued, and some people gave antiques, which were also worth hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan.
Although the monetary value is not low, its collection value is slightly inferior to the landscape painting "People by the Pond" given by An Guangyao. Therefore, although Gu Changjiang will take a few glances at it to feast his eyes, he does not feel excited.
