Right now, these things were the least valuable, worse than jewelry and jade.
Jewelry and jade were the easiest to tell their grades even for those who were not professional.
Supreme jade jewelry was translucent and bright at the first glance. Any inferior ones were totally incomparable.
But this ancient calligraphy painting and antique porcelain were different, and it is also the same with antique porcelain. Non-professionals could not tell the difference.
Du Guobang still had a lot of sources. He heard that jewelry was worthless in China but they were still expensive in Hong Kong.
He didn’t understand these antique calligraphy and paintings, and so did the people around him. The antique calligraphy and painting were also difficult to preserve.
Jewelry and jade could be thrown into the box anywhere. It did not matter even if you soaked them in water. But the calligraphy and painting were too delicate.
The people here did not understand the value of the calligraphy and painting but Gu Qingyao did!
Her grandfather was a landlord and well-educated. He had superior discerning eyes and was fond of collecting. This was a hobby passed down by ancestors.
The Gu family had a lot of collections passed down from their ancestors. In her previous life, she learned the knowledge from her grandfather when she was a child. She was more introverted at the later stage of her previous life and did not even leave the house. She spent all the time studying to keep herself from over-thinking.
After growing up, she went to a lot of places with Mo Beihan and witnessed many goods. She was therefore trained to be discerning.
There were several boxes in front of her. There were only two small boxes of jewelry and jade, placed on the table.
The boxes were all common jewelry.
Gu Qingyao took a look at bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. There were almost no complete sets of them. There were all kinds of bracelets and necklaces.
It was obvious that Du Guobang was way less sincere than Chen Jin.
Some of these jewels were good but there were no superior ones. There were only one necklace and two bracelets that were indeed good stuff.
That necklace was worth more than three million in the future. It was not of the best grade but still a pretty good one. The design was very beautiful. Gu Qingyao still liked it.
Bracelets were a bit more expensive. Both were about the same and could be paired up with more than six million.
Gu Qingyao picked both the bracelet and the necklace.
There was still one bracelet that could reach millions in the future. Gu Qingyao also took a green bracelet with flower designs. The remaining bracelets were almost the same.
Looking at the quality, they might be worth 200 to 500 thousands dollars based on the future market.
At the moment, they were worthless in the market. Two catties of cornmeal or less could be exchanged for one.
Du Guobang was a businessman so Gu Qingyao treated him that way. She was totally not trying to be polite when she picked the vintage items.
She picked twenty ordinary jade bracelets.
She also took ten gemstone rings, eighteen diamond rings. It would be beautiful wearing the diamond ring in the future when the free era arrived!
She would give her sisters-in-law and aunts one each!
She picked six pairs of diamond bracelets, four gemstone necklaces and nine diamond necklaces!
Du Guobang stared at the little girl as she picked the items. He could feel his eyebrows twitching.
After taking these, Gu Qingyao stopped looking at these jewels. What she took away was probably one-third of the things Du Guobang took out. But in terms of value, they accounted for 70 percent.
The remaining ones were not very valuable.
She then started to pick the calligraphy, painting and antiques.
Gu Qingyao liked those as well so she was very serious in her choice.
Du Guobang assumed that she did not understand anything about the values of vintage items as she was just a little girl. Though her face was covered, he could still tell that she was very young.
