Antique Dealer

Chapter 153 Expectations
The reason why Hu Chengyou came here in person was not only to express an attitude, but also to give his grandson a realistic education lesson.

But after arriving, there were many surprises. On the one hand, he couldn't accurately date the time, on the other hand, he met Fang Hao, an excellent young man, and Fang Hao's views were detailed. After some exchanges, he also gained something.

At this moment, Fang Hao's age has been ignored by him, and in front of him is a colleague who is better than him. He is naturally willing to contact and communicate more. It is best to make his grandson and Fang Hao become friends, and learn more from Fang Hao. Much knowledge and experience.

So, he invited, "Teacher Fang, would you like to have a meal together later?"

Fang Hao smiled apologetically: "Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do today, so it's inconvenient. But I still have to stay in Xijing for a few days, let's make an appointment when it's convenient, or when you go to the capital for fun, I will do my best!"

As he spoke, he took out two personal business cards printed before leaving Beijing, and handed them to the grandpa and grandson.

Although the contact time is very short, Fang Hao still has a good impression of the grandfather and grandson, which should be the inheritance of the older generation of antique people.

This kind of antique people are often optimistic, have outstanding eyesight, and stick to the integrity of the industry.People who think that narrow-minded people, people who want to get rich in their dreams, people who are preoccupied, and people who like to opportunistically calculate others, cannot manage antiques, nor can they collect antiques.Fundamentally speaking, they like antiques and traditional culture.Treat collecting antiques as enjoyment and buying and selling antiques as fun.

Fang Hao is naturally more willing to contact such colleagues, so he took the initiative to give his business card.As for whether he misjudged the person, he will only know after contact.

"Okay, then I will contact you then."

Hu Chengyou took the business card, greeted Mei Xiaohui again, and took Hu Jue downstairs.

"How do you feel about this trip?"

"It was a worthwhile trip, and I learned a lot." Before this, Hu Jue was somewhat complacent, thinking that he was also a leader among young people, but only now did he know what it means to have someone beyond others and a sky beyond the sky.

"Do you know where your main problem is?"

"Not strong sense of responsibility, too young?"

"That's right, you are indeed still young. I think I was at your age, and I just started to get in touch with antiques not long ago. At that time, there would not be such a huge antique market as it is now, and there would not be so many high-quality fakes. If I was born in this era , will be ashamed."

Hu Chengyou fell into deep thought, recalling the years when he just learned to identify antiques. In his life, those years were hard and happy, and also had many regrets.

"careful!"

Hu Jue's reminder brought Hu Chengyou back to his senses, and he found that he was almost lost: "Hey, I like to remember when I get older, and my body is getting worse every year. People will always die. How many years can you live?"

Hu Jue felt sour in his heart, and quickly said, "Grandpa, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"

"Whether it is a hundred years old or not, it is the best if it is healthy and healthy, and it is in a dream when it is gone."

Hu Chengyou chuckled, and then said: "In fact, your biggest problem is that you have made the wrong friends. You must know that in the antique industry, making the right friends and getting into the right circle are very important things, which are related to your height in this industry. .”

Hu Jue also knew the importance of a circle.

In this industry, people who play real things and those who play fakes cannot play together.

Generally speaking, players who play real things are relatively pragmatic, truth-seeking, and pure. When they see fakes, they don’t want to look at them, don’t like them, and feel that there is no point in discussing them. It’s a waste of time.They can't discuss the appreciation of genuine products with people who play fakes, because people who play fakes don't understand, so they will naturally stay away.

Those who play fake things don’t understand the various characteristics of the real thing, so they can’t communicate with the players who play the real thing, learn from each other, and even think that the other party is talking nonsense, and the two sides are not on the same channel.

Therefore, even if you are a complete layman, as long as you follow the right circle and the right people, you can basically buy real goods, and it is nothing more than a matter of high or low prices.This is also the reason why since Fang Hao's ability has been recognized by more and more people and has become more and more popular, no matter how you say it, at least you will not lose money if you buy things with Fang Hao!
Hu Jue said: "Grandpa, I understand. I will definitely get in touch with Fang Hao more in the future and learn his strengths."

Hu Chengyou waved his hand: "It's not just Fang Hao, you should clear up the sand and eliminate the gravel in your circle of friends now, just say that Mao Yunping, I have told you clearly, this person is a typical businessman, he is not He cares about the authenticity of the collection, and the so-called collection is just a tool for him to make money.

A businessman only has interests in his eyes. Why is he willing to contact you and even please you? Isn’t it because in his eyes, you still have value to be used. Not as good! "

Hu Jue said that he would obey his grandfather's teachings, but in his heart he felt that his grandfather's words were too exaggerated. It is true that Mao Yunping was using him, but the relationship between people is mutual use, as long as they don't break through his Bottom line, proper contact shouldn't be a problem.

Not long after the grandfather and grandson left, An Jin rushed over from the hospital. He came to trade with Fang Hao on behalf of An Ruiman.When he saw Fang Hao, he held Fang Hao's hand and kept expressing his gratitude. With this money, not only the medical expenses of the second grandpa were settled, but also the future life would not be so tight, and maybe it could also promote the relationship between the second grandpa and him. Cousin relationship.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Hao is responsible for all of this.

Since it was the noon break and the bank was closed, Fang Hao transferred 80 yuan with his mobile phone after obtaining the consent of Anjin and the others.

Fang Hao can indeed lower the price, but this amount of money is insignificant to him, but to An Ruiman's family, it may be life-saving money. As long as he can do his best and the consequences of helping are not lower than his moral standards, naturally he will not Will care about the gains and losses of this point.

For his son's deeds, Fang Zhengwei watched the whole process. During this period, he always regarded himself as a spectator, and did not ask questions or express opinions. His educational philosophy has always been to let Fang Hao develop freely and give full play to his subjective initiative.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about anything, but that he will tell Fang Hao some moral concepts through some examples in his life.At the same time, if Fang Hao really did something wrong and his growth was crooked, he would also correct it.

Now it seems that Fang Hao's performance made him very satisfied. All he has to do now is to enjoy this pride.

After eating, the three of them came to a coffee shop again, where Fang Hao and Qian Min's comrade-in-arms made an appointment.

When they arrived at the coffee shop, it was about 5 minutes behind the agreed time. At this time, Qian Min's comrade-in-arms had not arrived yet, so they ordered drinks and waited.

Qian Min's comrade-in-arms found out by pinch, this is a very ordinary middle-aged man, about 1.7 meters tall, very ordinary appearance.

I'm sure everyone has heard the saying that someone can't be found if thrown into the crowd. Before, Fang Hao didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Only when he saw Wei Luoyin did he realize that it turned out to be the case .

However, although Wei Luoyin's appearance is ordinary, his eyes are quite distinctive. To describe it in two words, it is "spirit", a special spirit. After seeing his eyes, it is hard to forget.

Hiring a private investigator with such eyes should be very reassuring.

After the introduction, both parties sat down, and Fang Hao asked, "Mr. Wei, what would you like to drink?"

Wei Luoyin said: "I don't drink, just give me a glass of water."

When the waiter came over with a glass of water, Wei Luoyin asked, "Have you brought all the materials?"

"It's been sorted out, and the suicide note is also inside." Fang Hao handed a folder to Wei Luoyin.

Wei Luoyin opened it and looked it up, but there was actually not much information. Zhao Lei didn't have the habit of keeping a diary, and he didn't leave any other useful clues.As for Liang Yuwen's side, there was only Tang Mingshan's eating experience that day, and Zhao Xiaorui didn't notice anything unusual.

After a while, Wei Luoyin raised his head: "I read that Zhao Lei also collects antiques. Are there any leftovers from his collection?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head: "No, my wife thinks that his son's suicide has a lot to do with antique collection. Not long after his death, he disposed of everything."

In fact, Fang Hao had asked about this matter before, and if nothing else, at least he could guess Zhao Lei's level.

Wei Luoyin asked: "Who is the buyer? Is the item still with him?"

Zhao Shuo said: "The buyer was introduced by my wife's cousin. I also asked about it just now, and it seems that everything has been dealt with."

Wei Luoyin said: "Whether it has been dealt with or not, I want a definite answer, so it's not appropriate for me to come forward, I heard that Fang Hao is also in the antique business, how about you get in touch with it? "

"No problem, what else do I need to do?"

"no need."

Wei Luoyin said: "Let's talk about the fee. I think you all know that our business is walking a tightrope, so the fee will be more expensive. But since it was introduced by Brother Qian, we are all friends. If you believe me, give me the money first." One thousand deposit, at most three days later, I will give you an answer, and then I will talk about the final fee, but I can tell you that the minimum fee should be more than ten thousand."

"No problem!" Zhao Shuo nodded heavily: "As long as I can find out the reason why my son jumped off the building, no matter how much I pay, it will be worth it!"

"I want to increase the price of what you said." Wei Luoyin smiled lightly and became serious again: "As for the results of the investigation, I also want to say that it is possible that you spent money, but the final result has nothing to do with outsiders, yes For his own reasons, don’t call me a liar then.”

"We believe in you!" Fang Hao said.

"Thank you for your trust. Next, let me talk about a discovery."
