Antique Dealer

Chapter 267 Come Soon

The reason why Fang Hao does not buy horns, teeth and other products is that on the one hand, he does not want to violate the laws and regulations, and on the other hand, it is indeed to prevent people with malicious intentions from taking advantage of them.

It is essential to guard against others. When opening a shop and doing business, you still have to be careful, lest a good situation will be ruined because of a single carelessness.

Fang Hao confessed a few words, took the box containing Qinan, and went to Zhu Junda's shop.

Tang Mingshan waited for Fang Hao to leave, walked to Hu Jue's side, took a sip of tea from his cup, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, does our boss think I'm too greedy?"

Hu Jue looked down at the book again: "Haven't you always been greedy?"

Tang Mingshan suddenly became unhappy: "Hey, what you say is just out of thin air!"

Hu Jue raised his head: "Do you want me to give an example? It's too far away, what happened to the lacquer sand inkstone last time?"

Tang Mingshan said hesitantly: "Then...it's different, I can only say that I'm not good at learning."

Hu Jue sneered: "If you don't think you can pick up the leak, can you not buy it?"

Tang Mingshan still refused to admit it: "I was punching!"

Hu Jue looked at Tang Mingshan and said, "Everyone wants to pick up leaks, and everyone wants to make a fortune. There is nothing embarrassing about it. It's just that when you see an opportunity to pick up leaks and make a fortune, you need to put your reason first, and think carefully about whether you should do it or not. Take the ivory pen holder just now as an example, even though the painting is still on the table, you don’t think about it, how do you want me to say hello.”

"Uh..." Hu Jue felt guilty after hearing these words, and began to reflect on his shortcomings in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little worried that Fang Hao would look down on him.

If Fang Hao knew what Hu Jue was thinking, he would definitely say with a smile that he was too worried.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, it is impossible for him to ask everyone to be like a saint, nor is it possible for others to be like him and give the old lady such a big advantage.And he asked himself, if there is no system and no shortage of money, he can't do it.

As for Tang Mingshan, he is also committing the common problem of antique lovers. He dreams of picking up leaks and getting rich overnight. Anyone can dream of getting rich. As long as he can restrain himself, he will not be troubled by his wallet. Tang Mingshan can restrain himself most of the time But sometimes there will be a sudden short-circuit in the brain, puncture the eyes, and buy garbage.

In addition, Tang Mingshan also has some minor problems that are harmless, and he is outgoing, has good conduct, and knows how to criticize himself, Fang Hao is still at ease with him.

Fang Hao came to Zhu Junda's antique shop, saw there were customers in the store, and Zhu Junda introduced beside the customers.

Seeing Fang Hao coming over, Zhu Junda signaled him to make tea by himself, and then introduced to the customer: "Sir, this Canglong Jiaozi Pei has finely carved patterns, soft engraved lines, complicated and dense, and forms a dense contrast with the center of the jade pendant. The beauty of the decoration. Moreover, the big dragon taught the little dragon Chunchun, which embodies the meaning of looking forward to his son becoming a dragon, and it is perfect to give it as a gift.”

The man repeatedly looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and asked: "This jade pendant looks really good, but the whiteness is not enough."

Zhu Junda did not expect that such a good mutton jade would be disliked by the man: "Sir, although this is not the top pure white, it is also the best among yellow and white. If you want pure white Hetian jade, I will I can look for it for you, but it will take time."

The "whiteness" of mutton fat jade is also graded, and the first condition is to be "white".Not only is it a first-class white, but it is also high-quality jade, oily and plump, so suet is never easy to get.

Among them, the top is the pure white level, the so-called "white as fat".

However, because pure white suet jade is very rare, the yellow and white species is currently a very popular suet jade species in the market.It is also because the jade of the yellow and white species is usually very thick and delicate, oily in the warm, and sometimes a little skin-colored.The yellow and white suet jade has a subtle feeling in the hand. Specifically, when you slide it with your hand, you will feel a sense of grease resistance.

The Canglong Jiaozi pendant in the man's hand is considered the best of the suet jade yellow and white species, and it is quite rare in today's market.

The man hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, I can't wait, how much is this jade pendant?"

Zhu Junda was anxious about Qinan brought by Fang Hao, and did not beat around the bush: "The price is 35 yuan."

"What!" The man trembled and almost dropped the jade pendant in his hand to the ground in fright: "Boss, are you crazy, such a big jade pendant is so expensive?"

The man's performance made Zhu Junda very surprised: "Sir, this is the real suet jade top-grade yellow and white material. It is not small, and it is also a master craftsman. Go outside and find out. Is the price expensive?"

The man smiled disdainfully: "Hey, you businessmen must say that."

"Since you think the price is expensive, then forget it." Zhu Junda didn't want to be wordy, this kind of suet jade pendant with good material and craftsmanship is not worried about selling this year.

Seeing that Zhu Junda didn't even give him a chance to bargain, the man was surprised, and couldn't help but said, "This is the first time I've seen a business like yours. You're not a supermarket. You can't pay back as much as you shout." price."

Zhu Junda said: "I'm sorry, but I have this personality. If I say a buy it now, it's a buy it now."

The man curled his lips: "Then you can't ask such an outrageous price, can you?"

Zhu Junda laughed when he heard this: "If you can tell what is outrageous, I will sell it to you even if I lose money today."

Hearing this, the man immediately took out a jade pendant from his clothes: "See, my suet jade is much whiter than yours, and it only costs 5 yuan!"

Zhu Junda looked at the man's hand, he didn't know what to say, after a while, he said, "Sir, I suggest you go to the quality inspection station and spend some money to have it appraised. "

Seeing Zhu Junda's stupefied look, the man was quite embarrassed, but he didn't expect Zhu Junda to say this. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was saying that his jade pendant was not suet jade: "Wait, you Speak clearly."

Zhu Junda didn't really want to talk to this man, the reason was very simple, when the man walked into the shop, he directly told him that he wanted a suet jade pendant, making him think that the man was an expert, but who knows, the other party was not an expert. Instead, it's a mallet.

Just considering that he opened the door to do business, Zhu Junda didn't want to be rumored to have a bad attitude, so he took a flashlight, illuminated his jade pendant, and explained to the man what the structure of Hetian jade is.

Comparing his jade pendant, the man panicked: "If it's not Hetian jade, what is it?"

Fang Hao walked over and said bluntly: "This is Afghan jade. It is said to be jade, but it is actually very different from Hetian jade. Hetian jade is also called nephrite jade. Its main components are tremolite and actinolite. .Afghan jade is carbonate jade, a kind of marble, the main components are calcite and dolomite. Its hardness is only 5, and it can be easily scratched with a key."

The man gaped and said, "Then... is my jade pendant worth anything?"

Fang Hao said: "As I said, it is a kind of marble. Even if it is more expensive than ordinary marble, it is not much more expensive. You can find similar jade pendants on the shopping software."

The man hurriedly took out his mobile phone, took a photo and searched, and his face turned pale in an instant: "40 yuan? No, it's only 40 yuan! I paid off the debt of [-] yuan!"

Fang Hao and Zhu Junda looked at each other. This kind of situation is not uncommon. They owed money and said that they had no money to pay back, so they used antiques to pay off the debt. The result was either fake or cheap, which caused heavy losses to the creditors.

The creditor is somewhat responsible for this kind of thing. He obviously doesn't understand it, so wouldn't he ask a knowledgeable person to help him?In the end, I lost my money, and I may lose face in front of others.

The man left with a depressed and angry mood.

Zhu Junda shrugged his shoulders, and took Fang Hao back to his seat: "What a waste of time, don't these people know that they should do their homework before buying something?"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "This is a very normal thing, otherwise how can those fakes in the antique markets around the world be sold."

"You're right."

Zhu Junda laughed, and then couldn't wait to see Qinan, Fang Hao handed him the box.

After a while, Zhu Junda said happily: "Xiaohao, tell me a price, how much is it?"

Fang Hao said: "Come up an integer, let's count it as 200 million."

Zhu Junda waved his hand: "No, this is too low."

Fang Hao said with a smile: "I sold it to my friends at the same price. When it's your turn, you can't treat it differently."

This sentence has another meaning. Fang Hao treats Zhu Junda as a friend, which is why he has this price. If Zhu Junda disagrees, it means that he does not want to treat Fang Hao as a friend.

Zhu Junda shook his head and smiled, and agreed. Anyway, the future is long, and there must be time to return favors.

Zhu Junda took Qinan away and transferred the money to Fang Hao.

Seeing that it was already time for dinner, Zhu Junda wanted to invite Fang Hao to dinner. Fang Hao said that he had an appointment with Du Manzhuang and Huang Zhicheng at noon today. If Zhu Junda didn't mind, let's have a light meal together, Zhu Junda readily agreed.

Yesterday, Du Manzhuang and Huang Zhicheng played in the capital for a day. Originally, Fang Hao wanted Tang Mingshan or Hu Jue to accompany them, but they refused, saying that it was unnecessary.

Today, Du Manzhuang and Huang Zhicheng were going to return to Xijing by plane in the afternoon, so they decided to get together at noon.

Fang Hao called Tang Mingshan and asked them to go directly to the restaurant. Unexpectedly, Tang Mingshan told him that Li Fangsheng was waiting for him in the store, saying that he had something to discuss.

Li Fangsheng should still come because of Geng Qianwen's matter, Fang Hao asked Tang Mingshan to tell Li Fangsheng to go to the restaurant together, and we'll talk there.

After a while, everyone gathered in the private room of the hotel, and after being polite to each other, Fang Hao asked Zhu Junda to help order food, and he and Li Fangsheng went outside the private room to talk.

Li Fangsheng said ashamedly: "Hey, shame on me, that bastard actually told me that it was the money he earned with his ability, and he didn't want to return the money at all. I scolded him, but he turned against me directly and took me out of his I was driven out of the store, I was really mad! However, I also told Miss Geng, and I will definitely give her a satisfactory answer."

Fang Hao didn't expect that Li Fangsheng's nephew would treat Li Fangsheng like this. If Li Fangsheng got involved again, he might completely turn against his nephew.

"Old Li, do you need me to do something?"

Li Fangsheng waved his hand: "Let me figure out a way first, if I still can't make him change his mind, let's talk about it later. Hey, I remember, when I first brought him into the industry, he was still aboveboard. Unexpectedly, he has become a This is it!"

At the end, a trace of sadness flashed across Li Fangsheng's face. Among his descendants, this nephew was the only one who liked antiques. Originally, he wanted to pass on his nephew, but now everything has come to nothing, which made him feel mixed.

Fang Hao persuaded: "Don't be sad when you are old. Society is a big dyeing vat. There will always be people who are dyed in various colors. As long as they can be corrected in time, they may still return to their original state."

"I hope so."

Li Fangsheng cheered up: "Okay, don't be infected by my emotions, let's go in."

Fang Hao nodded slightly, and the two returned to the private room.

The next meal was very lively, everyone had a great time, and Li Fangsheng also came out of his depressed mood for a while.

Zhu Junda and Li Fangsheng both had things to do, so they left after dinner, while the others returned to Fang Hao's Juhuizhai together.

Du Manzhuang and Huang Zhicheng had to go back to the hotel to pack their luggage. Du Manzhuang handed over the investment documents on "Cultivated Diamond" to Fang Hao, and asked Fang Hao to take a closer look, or give it to professionals for evaluation. If there is no problem, let him He will send his friends to the capital to sign an investment agreement with Fang Hao.

After chatting for a while, Du Manzhuang and Huang Zhicheng left and went back to the hotel.

After the two left for a while, a fat man in his 40s came in, with the aura of a nouveau riche, and beside him was a beautiful woman holding his arm.

As soon as the fat man came in, his eyes fell on Wen Zhengming's fake painting.

Fang Hao noticed this scene, and was quite speechless in his heart. He was so eager to trouble him, how much he hated him!

His reaction was also quick, and he stood up immediately: "I have to go back first, remember to call me if you need anything."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the store without waiting for the upstart to react.

The nouveau riche watched Fang Hao walk out of the store, and was about to stop Fang Hao, but thinking that he had no valid reason to stop Fang Hao, he could only give up.Moreover, it is more convenient that Fang Hao is not here.

The nouveau riche went straight to the painting, glanced at the inscription, and widened his eyes: "You still have Wen Zhengming's landscape painting here? And if you just hang it here, aren't you afraid of any damage?"

Tang Mingshan came over: "Our boss just got this painting, and there is no suitable place to put it, so let's hang it up for now."

The nouveau riche looked heartbroken: "Reckless, you are reckless!"

Tang Mingshan seemed a little unhappy: "What do you mean by that!"

"I didn't say that, I can tell you don't understand anything at a glance!"

The nouveau riche said in a preaching tone: "The preservation of calligraphy and painting requires a certain temperature and humidity. Calligraphy and painting are mainly composed of paper and silk, silk, brocade and other fabrics, which are very delicate. It has its own optimum temperature and humidity requirements. Generally speaking, the temperature of 15°C to 18°C ​​and the relative humidity of 55% to 65% are the most favorable for the preservation of Jiazang calligraphy and paintings.

Look at this painting, if you don't want anything, it just hangs here so carelessly. "

The woman holding the upstart's arm said: "There is nothing wrong with this painting!"

"Hey, you man, how do you talk!" Tang Mingshan pretended to be anxious, not to mention that he might have a talent for acting, it really looked like that.

"Don't talk nonsense." The nouveau riche reprimanded the woman first, but his expression also looked suspicious.

"I haven't acted like me yet."

Tang Mingshan muttered in his heart, and then said: "Whether it's true or not, you can see for yourself, what's not true can't be true, and what's true can't be false either."

"it is good."

The nouveau riche immediately looked at the painting, and after a while, he shook his head and commented: "This painting has a dense setting and less space depth; the shape is sharp and angular, and slightly distorted; the brushwork is fine and dense, slightly jerky, which can be seen in the mastery. Naive, with a strong decorative, lyrical, naive and talented. Good painting, really a good painting!"

Tang Mingshan curled his lips inwardly, and said with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect you, boss, to be an expert!"

"I can't talk about being an expert, just a little research on Wen Zhengming." The nouveau riche has now become a cultural person: "I don't know, do you sell this painting?"

"You want to buy?"

"Of course, this is the work of Wen Zhengming, one of the four great talents. It is rare to come across it for a small price in the market. As long as the price is right, of course I want to buy it."

Tang Mingshan seemed a little hesitant: "I still have to ask our boss about this."

"Where is your boss?" The upstart looked around, pretending not to know Fang Hao.

"When you came in just now, the one who went out was our boss."

"Ah, he is your boss!" The nouveau riche was taken aback.

"Do you think our boss is too young?"

The upstart waved his hand: "Young doesn't mean weak, isn't there a word called "young and promising"?"

Tang Mingshan chuckled: "Anyway, I have to ask the boss about this first."

"It should." The upstart nodded.

Tang Mingshan stepped aside and got in touch with Fang Hao: "Boss, someone wants to buy Wen Zhengming's paintings, will you sell them? What, not for sale?"

The upstart quickly said, "I am willing to pay a high price."

"He said he was willing to pay a high price. 2800 million?" Tang Mingshan said to the nouveau riche: "My boss said, if you sincerely want it, count it as 2800 million!"

"Hey, this painting is 2800 million, it is too expensive, can it be cheaper?"

The nouveau riche is very happy in his heart, he is afraid that Fang Hao will not ask a price, the higher the price Fang Hao asks, the higher his income will be, and a fool would not be happy.

"Wait until I discuss it with the boss."

Tang Mingshan muttered to the phone for a while, then put away the phone, and said to the nouveau riche: "Boss, this is Wen Zhengming's painting, 2800 million is still expensive! If it is at an auction, 3800 million will be available." possible!"

The woman curled her lips: "Then why didn't you get it to the auction?"

Tang Mingshan said: "It's just because it's too troublesome to go to the auction."

The nouveau riche said with a smile: "There is something you haven't said yet. The handling fee at the auction is also expensive. Even if there is really 3800 million, how much can you get?"
