[The Golden Eyes]
[Episode 7]
Boss Qian,
this purple clay teapot of yours is not bad.
It's just something for drinking water with.
Boss Qian, don't be like that.
Didn't you say just now that you're going to have some fun with the younger generation? Be more generous, okay?
[Zhu Kexin]
Zhu Kexin?
Oh? Let me have a look.
This is really Zhu Kexin's teapot.
It's a valuable treasure without a market.
No wonder whenever I come here,
Boss Qian would always hold on to it tightly and not let go.
Say, Boss Qian, all the items displayed in your shop as well as those shown to us are all fakes,
are all trash. For the real treasure,
you had kept it for your own pleasure.
Didn't you say ceramics?
Is this purple clay teapot considered as one, too?
Products made from potter clay and porcelain clay
can all be called ceramics.
Purple clay teapots are not an exception.
The shape of this teapot is stylish and concise.
It should be the work of Teacher Zhu Kexin during his peak.
But this is only a single teapot.
Boss Qian,
could you have hidden the rest of the items, too?
I'll be the witness to this. In my previous visit here, I saw
eleven items, some big and some small.
I keep them at home. There's no space to display them here.
Boss Qian, please don't say now that this teapot does not belong here.
As long as the item is here,
including even your underpants, are all items that belong here.
I agree to that.
Xiao Yun, how could you talk like that?
Isn't Boss Qian the one who taught us all the rules about the antique trade?
Young people like us think nothing of paying a compensation of ¥2,000,000.
We have no regrets for our youth, right?
Boss Qian is the expert and authority in Panjiayuan.
How can you discount what he said?
- That's right. - Of course. - Isn't it so, Boss Qian?
Boss Qian, we have to accept defeat. Quickly go back home and get
the other items to make it a set of eleven, wrap it up, and send it to them.
I will send it. I won't even keep one item.
This is the right thing to do.
But you don't have to be too depressed over it.
Look, Feifei, we have one at home that is bigger than this.
When you come and visit next time, I'll show it to you.
When the day comes that your house is burglarized, I will definitely visit you.
I can at the same time gather evidence, too.
- What are you taking about? - Okay, stop trying to show off.
Old Qian, we must be willing to accept loss when we agree to bet. You must bear to part with it before you can get anything in return.
This... consider it as my gift for your son's first month banquet. Take it!
Brother, you are really generous.
This is no big deal.
Young fellow, is your name Zhuang Rui?
Hello.
Your judgement is not bad.
Are you free this weekend? There is a precious stones cultural exchange meeting.
Do you want to attend?
- Precious stones cultural exchange meeting? - Yes.
Sure. Thank you.
Thank you...
Thank you, Old Master Gu.
This jade pendant is translucent white with grey color inside.
Compared to that piece of mutton-fat white jade that Old Man Gu gave out just now,
the difference is more that ten thousand miles.
Why would a man with status like Old Man Gu carry with him something that is so cheap?
VIP.
Feifei, if you are free and have nothing to do, go there, too.
It looks to me like you are quite free.
Take it!
Right. You look quite free to me, too.
Let's go. Go back and play games with me.
- Grandfather Gu, bye-bye. - Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
- Brother, please take care. - I'm leaving.
A revenge for a big grudge. Aren't you going to have a small celebration?
That's right. You got to get back in a big way.
Boss Qian,
please drink the last cup.
Are you telling me that you lost the Yunlong (Cloud Dragon) teapot to Zhuang Rui?
Are you trying to mess with them, or with me?
Mr. Xu, I have five hundred items in my shop.
Even if you invited those people from the museum of the Forbidden City here,
they wouldn't be able to choose anything in an hour.
I never imagined that they would chose Zhu Kexin's teapot.
Old Master Gu was also present. I dare not play any tricks.
Have you thrown my honor away in front of Gu Tianfeng? Is that it?
Qian Yaosi,
it is not money that my Xu family wants. It is honor.
You can roll up your bedding and get lost.
No, Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu!
Hey, keep a close eye on Zhuang Rui and those fellows around him.
Right, Zhuang Rui. Are you deaf?!
You're here.
Please have a seat.
Are you okay?
It is not something important.
Fat Bird. You're Fat Bird. Fat Bird.
- How dare you make a funeral cry here? - Fat Bird.
- Throw it away. Make it leave. - Okay.
- You get lost, too. - Okay. - Fat Bird.
Isn't it just a ¥3,000,000-¥4,000,000 purple clay teapot set? Do you really need to get so upset over it?
I really dislike looking at Zhuang Rui's show-off and domineering expression of a petty bourgeois.
He only just made a little bit of money and now he's turning his nose up at me.
Zhuang Rui and Huangfu Yun didn't do anything wrong.
Why do you need to get so angry?
Yes.
As men, we all need to have some honor.
Okay, don't let them disturb our wonderful time.
Try the steak.
Great men said that wrong. It is I, Huangfu Yun, who said it a long time ago,
"When you fall down, get up. When we fall down, we fly up from the original spot!"
Rui Rui! Let's eat!
Happy.
Rich man, it was not easy to finally take flight. Why are you eating only these?
What's wrong with these?
Maybe you ordered too much.
If I don't order more, how can it be called a celebration?
Police Sis, please don't start yet.
The main course is not served yet.
I will look at it while eating. Only then will it be more energizing.
We should look at it together, then it will be even more energizing.
Eat! Eat!
[Jin (utmost)]
Uncle De, what is this precious stones cultural exchange meeting all about?
You studied history. You should know that
there are similarities between ancient jade and antiques. Ancient jades are an important component of the antique circle.
If you research more into ancient jade, it will complement you in many ways in your study of history in the future.
Then, this ancient jade,
is a little different from the antique circle.
The circle of ancient jade is more closed.
Take, for example, this upcoming precious stones cultural exchange meeting.
All those taking part are the main movers in the precious stones world.
There are also some with great purchasing power, the so-called big merchants and rich, powerful people.
Gu Tianfeng has been holding the appointment of Chairman of the Precious Stones Cultural Exchange Meeting
for more than twenty years. For a person with such standing in society to personally invite you,
it can be considered a pretty good opportunity.
But I really don't know much about jade and jadeite.
Just... treat it like going on a trip to Panjiayuan.
What should we do then? I'll still say the same eight words, "Listen more, look more. Speak less, buy less."
Later, I'll prepare a few books for you. Review them when you get home.
Eight out of ten books about jade being sold outside are published by businessmen themselves. You shouldn't read them.
Mine are all evidence-based teaching materials.
If you want to go there and make a surprise attack, you have to put in the hard work yourself.
It's all right. Making a hasty last-minute effort and doing surprise attacks are what I do best.
[Do all the good you can. Forget all your worries and concern]
Uncle De, this calligraphy... can you gift it to me?
I'm just doing it very casually. I'll write something better for you another day.
All right. Thank you, Uncle De.
Where have you gone to look for loopholes again?
So heavy.
They can't be ancient bronze artifacts, can they?
Knowledge...
It is the most precious wealth.
Then...
You are right. Then, I'll give you all my wealth.
Not only do I have to read these books. You also have to read them, too.
Aren't we going to attend that precious stones cultural exchange meeting? We must at least review.
Yes. Uncle De's right. I should study well.
If I studied well, I'll be able to pick up missed out treasures, too.
Furthermore, I'm really smart, right? I have no problem reading ten books in a single night.
Let's strive to achieve together.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki
I won't talk about those lousy things that happened at Gansu.
Next time, look for people who are more professional to carry out the job. Don't make the same mistake again.
I was careless in using those people. I'm sorry, Miss.
Since the police are already involved, there can't be too many activities in the future where this matter is concerned.
We are going to bring Xihuang Jewelry into the local market.
In this regard, I have to put in quite a lot of effort here.
As for you, continue to seek for news about the jade eye.
Go.
What time is it now?
You're still reading?
Are you working through the "Five-year College Entrance Exams and three-year Model Questions?"
Say, if you can't finish all these books, just read them tomorrow.
I've finished those.
What?
This... Have you finished reading all these?
You are really incredible.
I majored in history. Memorizing everything mechanically and doing a surprise attack on the spot are my expertise.
I've marked out some pages. You can take a look at them.
Before we attend the precious stones meeting, just memorize all the things I marked out. That should be sufficient.
Oh, my.
Thank goodness I went overseas that year.
[¥5,000,000. Only you can come. Huanyu Building. ($750,000 USD)
Hello?
Boss Yu?
What do you want to do?
You're just an underling.
Do I have to tell you what I want to do?
Let your boss answer the phone. That girl.
I brought the money. Where's the thing?
With such an important thing,
how can I just casually bring it out?
Tomorrow, 3:00 p.m., meet me at Guanting Reservoir.
I'm not available tomorrow.
Do you still want that thing or not?
I'm warning you.
Tomorrow 3:00 in the afternoon,
come and look for me at the Precious Stones Cultural Exchange Meeting.
If you can still carry more, I'll give you an additional ¥5,000,000.
What venue did you say? Say it again.
Third East Ring South Road, Peace Building.
The terrace in the south east direction, Tianxin Guesthouse.
For such an important prisoner,
how could you have let him escape from the hospital?!
This shows that the vitality of this prisoner is very tenacious.
The police will definitely now allow a prisoner to get away with his crime.
Quickly work out a proposal!
- Reporting! - Come in.
Chief Ding, Leader Miao.
Those police comrades from the various district police stations who are helping with the arrest
have already sent to us the personal details of the guests who are staying in the various hotels last night.
Can Leader Miao go over to confirm them?
Hurry up and go!
Yes, Chief Ding!
Don't worry. I will definitely arrest him again.
Not just him, but also the mastermind behind him.
- Go quickly! Go quickly! Go quickly! - Yes.
Let's go.
[Tianxin Guesthouse]
Zoom in.
Stop.
Which room is this person in now?
He has checked out and left.
When did he check out?
It's been a while since he left.
Can't you see that he looks like the person here? How could you let someone like that stay here?
Police Officers, I look different here, too!
S-Some people are just so photogenic. What's the problem?
If he comes back again, contact me immediately.
All right. All right.
[Third East Ring South Road, Peace Building.]
How do I look? I'm wearing my most expensive outfit today.
Doesn't it fit this Precious Stones Meeting so well?
Oh, it's pretty good.
Let's go.
Hi, Little Guys.
Why are you wearing a mask today?
Style. Do you know that?
Yes.
After you have gained from a loophole, your taste has also improved.
But of course.
The prints don't look very clear.
It should still be a top-grade item from the road side stall.
Mr. Zhuang is still so casual.
No, we are here to look at jades. Not like you, dressed like you're on the runway show.
Jades are good items.
The profit they make is much more than what you can gain from finding loopholes.
But if you buy the wrong one,
it can't be compared to making a wrong judgement in Panjiayuan.
I wish both of you good luck.
Oh, right. I know a good procurement agent. If there's any need, contact me.
He's really obnoxious.
Was he insulting me just now?
Didn't you say that your clothes were very expensive?
More than a ¥100 is already very expensive to me!
Next, we welcome Mr. Xu Wei,
the General Manager for the South China Region of Xu Jewelry.
For many years, Xu Jewelry has been consistently awarded
the Honorary Merchant of the Precious Stones Cultural Exchange Meeting.
We look forward to them earning a greater honor
in this year's Precious Stones Cultural Exchange Meeting.
The six jade experts and fifty-two store owners
who were invited have all arrived.
We hope that everyone here today will thoroughly enjoy the the beauty of jade.
I am Liu Jia, the curator. I thank everyone again for your patronage.
Welcome.
- Welcome. This way please. - This lady...
What's wrong with this lady?
Look at the condition of her teeth.
Look.
Whose teeth condition are you talking about?
Are you buying a horse?
- How can you talk about a girl like that? - Welcome.
I was just saying that she has white teeth.
Really, really white.
The two of you really did turn up.
We are here to look at stones.
Haven't you turned up, too?
Coming here is one thing. Just remember to be safe.
Pay attention to safety? Is it very dangerous here?
With him here, when was it never dangerous before?
You are always talking about danger all the time.
Didn't you say you were coming to meet me?
- This is... - Is this your friend?
This is Liu Jia, my friend.
She's the curator of this meeting.
This one is...
Huangfu Yun. The two-character surname Huangfu. The "shui" (water) in floating clouds and flowing water.
No, it's "yun" (cloud). My name originated from
Western Zhou dynasty. Do you know the grand tutor of Western Zhou?
This is...
This is... my... that... gifted student buddy from the History Department of Peking University,
Zhuang Rui. Both of us are into collecting antiques.
Didn't Old Master Gu invite us here personally?
So we came over here to take a look.
- Is it Gu Tianfeng, Old Master Gu who invited you? - Yes.
He looks elegant and refined. A graduate from a famous school. And he has the money to buy-and-sell antiques.
With such a good little fellow, why didn't you introduce him to me?
Are you talking about Huangfu Yun?
I think there's a show (a dating chance).
A show?
We have not even seen any stones. What show are you talking about?
Didn't you notice how Teacher Xiao Jia was looking at me?
Her eyes are gleaming.
Liu Jia, since when have you become single to the point of not choosing what you eat?
Who is talking about Huangfu Yun? I'm talking about Zhuang Rui.
It's not that I'm so hungry that I don't even choose what to eat.
Miao Feifei, are you blind?
Look at all the men here.
They are either the middle-age nouveau riche, or playboys with rich parents.
Look at Zhuang Rui again.
Elegant and refined. Modest appearance.
Low profile, too.
He truly has emerged untainted from the mud (principled and incorruptible).
I'm even raised from the ripples of water with an unaffected grace.
Who's blind? You're the one who's blind.
Feifei, can you help to bring us together?
Show off my assets.
I didn't notice anything.
Later, you...
You walk around by yourself, okay?
Try to hide away, so as not to block my radiance.
Okay. Okay.
If you are not accustomed to the food and drinks,
just order what you like. I'll pay the bill later.
This must be your first time attending a precious stones exhibit, right?
There are quite a few top-grade jadeites and some very good diamond jewelry
to be exhibited today.
The quality of some of the rough stones brought here by merchants for the auction is also not bad.
Why don't I bring you to have a look?
That... Didn't you say you wanted to understand precious stones and the other good stuff more?
Go and take a look.
Right! Right!
So I have to trouble Miss Liu Jia.
No, it's Teacher Xiao Jia.
Right. Right. She is very experienced.
She has planned quite a lot of precious stones meetings like this one.
- Then, you— - Didn't you say just now that you have a stomachache?
Quickly go.
Actually, I have always been very interested in
the precious stones trade.
This time, I hope to be able to find
a precious gemstone that is the most unique in the world,
to gift it to the future love of my life.
I never imagined that I was able to find the love of my life so fast.
I'm sorry, what did you say just now?
That... What's your zodiac sign?
Leader Miao, the exhibit has started. Are we going to act according to plan?
- Run through the checklist and start the inspection. Inform me immediately once you've confirmed the target. - What do you like to watch? - You guess.
Later, have him surrounded before you take action.
You must ensure the safety of everyone in the vicinity.
Rich jade green color.
Internally, the crystallized micro-particles are uniform and homogeneous.
It looks like glass from the outside, pure and delicate.
This must be what is described in the book as
best quality jadeite, old crater glass-type jadeite.
Your judgement is not bad.
Miss Qin.
The degree of transparency and hydration in this piece of old-crater type jadeite is fairly sufficient.
Is there anything that you like? Please take your time to look around.
This... is...
This exhibition area belongs to my family.
These last few years, my family focused more on development within the country.
So, we participated in this Precious Stone Cultural Exchange Meeting.
I never imagined that not only do you like bottle gourds,
you are also quite knowledgeable about jade and precious gems.
This is just a coincidence. This...
I'll bring you over there to have a look.
Okay.
Waitress, over here.
Later, go over there and spill the wine on her.
Understand.
As a result, after a long period of time—
Sir, Miss, would you like to drink a glass of wine?
Sorry! Sorry, Sir!
I didn't hold the tray properly. Sorry.
- I'm really sorry. - It's all right.
Get someone over to clean this up.
What are you going to do about it? It's all wet.
It's all right. My shirt is black in color,
so it doesn't matter. Look, your pants are white in color.
It's no good if they were stained with color.
This can't be. Follow me. I'll bring you to clean it up.
Leader Miao, the number of guests entering the exhibit
- and the staff are increasing. - Miss Qin.
- It is too difficult to investigate them individually. - This doesn't seem suitable. - What is not good about it?
- And it will be easily discovered by other people. - Furthermore, when you come to an occasion like this...
- What should we do now? - ...you should dress more formally.
Seal all the exits first. Do not let the suspect leave this place.
Okay. Understand.
What's your situation?
And you even changed to another set of clothes?
Why are you putting on all these airs, pretending to be a rich man?
Grandfather, this year's precious stones meeting is not bad.
Grandfather Gu!
- Hey, I... - Little Zhuang, there you are!
Zhuang Rui.
Grandfather Gu!
Feifei!
You really came to play with me?! I thought you were—
Stop pestering Police Officer Miao. We have not done the important things yet.
So tell me...
Little Zhuang, have you seen anything interesting?
It's okay. I have not been able to recognize any artistry yet.
Well, we can still enjoy the show if we can't recognize any artistry, right?
I suggest that you go to Gambling Stone Hall at the back later to have a look.
It's quite interesting. Let's meet at the stone gambling event later.
Okay. Thank you, Grandfather Gu.
- It's all right. Let's go. - Let's go.
Feifei, the stone gambling event later will be very lively.
- I'll wait for you! - Make yourself more useful! - Enough, Grandfather!
Little Zhao, send some people to the hall behind.
Check everyone individually before the stone gambling starts.
- Copy that. - Okay.
Zhuang Rui, look who I bumped into.
Brother Ma!
The two of you are doing well. Getting interested in precious gemstones now.
Are you going to gamble all the way, or half the way?
What is all the way and half the way?
Is there any difference?
No, this is a public place. Can we gamble here?
Do you understand or not? Gambling stone is not about gambling.
It is about risk-taking purchase.
You are taking a gamble on whether there's any jadeite inside the stone.
You don't understand all this, right? I'll explain to you.
Look, this is a piece of raw material.
It has not been cut yet. It's comparatively cheap in price,
but the risk is also great.
You can't see what's inside.
This piece,
the green color is already showing.
Comparatively, it will make more money, but the risk factor is even greater.
In terms of losing, it's usually by millions.
This one is not bad. This one, take a look at it.
The green color is showing.
The rough skin on the outside looks quite good, too.
I estimate that the starting price of this piece would be from ¥3,000,000 and upward. ($450,000 USD)
Gamble on ¥3,000,000? That much?
No, is there any equipment that can look directly into the stone?
Do you have the key to the Bank of China?
What do you mean?
In this world, there is no machine that can look into the stone and see what's inside.
No one can bluff me. There's also not a single person who can tell if there's jadeite inside or not.
This is what gambling stone is about. How would it be a gamble if you can see everything?
No, didn't I just return from overseas? I don't really know the market situation within the country yet.
- It's the same abroad. - Is that so? - Yes.
Brother Ma, is there ever such a situation? For example, I purchase a piece of rough stone.
When it's cut, I find that there's nothing inside. Can I return it then?
You can. You can be beaten up.
You have already cut it and yet you still want to return it. Aren't you looking to be beaten up?
When we make a misjudgment in antiques, don't we also bear the consequence?
That's right.
But let me tell you this. Dabbling in gambling stones can be addictive.
I have a brother who lost more than ¥10,000,000. ($1,5 million USD)
He belongs to that kind who, whatever he buys is not there,
whatever that's cut can't be seen, either.
Finally, he was left with only ¥5,000. ($750 USD)
He bought a piece of uncut rough stone.
When it was cut, it was really green inside.
But that brother, in his excitement, cut the stone wrongly.
As a result, he had no choice but to cut the stone into fragmented pieces.
A material that could actually fetch ¥8,000,000 was reduced to fragmented pieces after cutting. ($1,2 million USD)
- How much? ¥8,000,000? - Yes.
Then, it's really a case where one cut by a knife can bring you either to paradise or hell.
What happened to your friend in the end?
