Rising from Fudimo (God Capital Tiger)

Chapter 31 I Will Trouble You Again

The material of this pair of ancient scrolls is not the usual paper or silk, but it is made of some kind of animal leather mixed with some pigments.

The content on the ancient scrolls is not the calligraphy and paintings of famous people, but scriptures.

"Tripitaka, King Kong's curse."

Li Yiming saw the origin of this scripture at a glance, and this Vajra Fumo mantra was written in ancient Tibetan.

"Good eyesight, since the shopkeeper knows the origin of this thing, please make a price."

Li Yiming put away the scriptures, did not offer a price, but asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

There is a reason why he asked this question.

This kind of ancient scroll that records the scriptures is not an ordinary antique, but a very rare tantric shroud, which is used to wrap the corpse!

In ancient times, only those with extremely noble status were eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment. It is said that this kind of shroud filled with scriptures can keep the corpse from decaying and allow the soul of the deceased to enter the Western Paradise.

The production process is very complicated, and the person who recorded the scriptures must also be an eminent monk, so every piece of scripture shroud is extremely rare.

More than ten years ago, a royal shroud from the late Qing Dynasty was auctioned overseas for a sky-high price of 3000 million!

This kind of thing belongs to the cultural relics of the national treasure level, which cannot be seen in the domestic market at all, and only museums have it.

Did this man steal it from a museum?

The man said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, this item was not stolen from a museum, and there is no problem with its origin."

Li Yiming frowned and thought for a while, then said decisively: "I'm sorry, please go back, I'm afraid I can't help you."

The handsome man jumped, "Why?"

"You're just asking knowingly. I'm afraid no one in China would dare to accept this kind of thing. Even if I dare to accept it, I can't afford it. I'm sorry, I won't give it away." Li Yiming stood up.

The price of this kind of shroud in overseas markets is generally tens of millions, and the high-quality ones are over [-] million.

The man did not give up, but said: "To be honest, this thing is my family's ancestors, and it has a history of more than 300 years. You can rest assured to ask for a price."

"Oh? Your ancestors were relatives of the emperor?"

"No, it's the craftsman who made this kind of thing."

Li Yiming was taken aback, "But how did this thing get passed down?"

Only then did the man tell the story that his ancestors were leather craftsmen for generations. More than 300 years ago, a very distinguished person came to their family and asked to make a shroud from leather.

It took three years, but the shroud was not used after it was made, because the guest had already been killed by the emperor, and the entire family had no survivors!

When his ancestor heard about this, he was so frightened that he took his family away from home overnight to avoid disaster, because he was afraid that they would be implicated, so this useless shroud was passed down.

Li Yiming thought about it for a while, and what the man said was consistent with history. He could even guess who the original owner of the shroud was.

"Even so, I dare not accept it, it's too expensive."

The man smiled wryly: "If you believe what I said, the price is negotiable, and you can pay as much as you want."

Li Yiming was stunned, "This is your family heirloom, and this thing is worth tens of millions in overseas markets, do you have the heart to sell it cheap?"

"Unless I have to, I won't go this far." The man replied helplessly.

Li Yiming didn't continue to ask, but still shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, the price I offered is too low, which will make you suffer. I can't accept it if it is too high. I'd better go to another place."

After pondering for a moment, the man said again; "100 million! I will redeem this item at twice the price in three months. If I don't come, this item will belong to you!"

There are two types of pawns, one is live pawns, that is, the two parties agree on a time limit—usually no more than half a year, within which the things can be redeemed.The second is dead pawning, that is, you don’t plan to redeem it, and sell it directly to the pawn shop.

What he said is a live pawn. If you don’t redeem it beyond the time limit, it will automatically become a dead pawn.

Compared with the value of this thing, 100 million is indeed the price of cabbage.

After thinking for a while, Li Yiming said, "Okay, then I will keep it for you for three months."

The two parties quickly went through the handover procedures, and after paying 100 million, the man left in a hurry.

After the man left, Li Yiming stared at the thing for a long time, seemingly thinking about it.

The next morning, as soon as I arrived at the shop, I saw Yang Xuemin was already waiting here.

"Miss Yang, if you need anything, just make a phone call, you don't need to come here in person."

Yang Xuemin looked a little embarrassed, "Can you talk about it later?"

Seeing her expression, Li Yiming smiled knowingly.

The two came to the reception room in the backyard, and after closing the door, he asked with a smile: "Does the old father-in-law and mother-in-law want to see me?"

Yang Xuemin smiled wryly and said, "You really guessed it right. I'm sorry, but I need your help again this time."

It turned out that it was used as a shield again, but Li Yiming didn't care.

"Is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

"It's my grandfather's [-]th birthday, and our whole family will go to the capital to celebrate his birthday. But my mother has already told my grandfather about you, and my grandfather insists that I take you to see him, so..."

Li Yiming laughed, "How important is it for me? Isn't it just a reenactment of what happened last time? If it's okay, I'll go with you."

But Yang Xuemin said with a bit of embarrassment: "Thank you, but meeting my grandfather this time is different from meeting my parents. I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid of being exposed?"

Yang Xuemin shook her head and sighed, "My mother's natal family is a big family, which is different from our Yang family. Even I feel nervous every time I go to see my grandfather, uncle and aunt."

Li Yiming blinked his eyes, "Your Yang family is now a wealthy family with assets of more than 130 billion. You, a young lady, are still nervous when you see your relatives?"

"You don't know what kind of family my grandfather Huang's family is in the capital, they are the real rich family!"

Li Yiming didn't take it seriously in his heart. Can such a wealthy family outshine the ancient royal family?So many emperors, generals and ministers all respected him as a teacher and a father, what kind of wealthy family he had never seen before.

"No matter how big the family is, you are the closest relatives, so what's there to be nervous about?"

Yang Xuemin sighed, and replied: "My grandfather's name is Huang Canghai, and he is the founder of Canghai Group."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yiming was startled.

"real or fake?"

Canghai Group is one of the top 4000 private enterprises in this country, a large multinational group listed overseas, with a total market value of [-] billion!

Huang Canghai has also entered the list of the top 800 richest people in the country with a personal asset of [-] billion!

Compared with the Yang family, the Huang family is the real rich family.
