Antique Dealer

Chapter 70
Su Qihu watched the video clips taken by Fang Hao, and also understood Fang Hao's thoughts, and thought he could give it a try.

Afterwards, Zhou Mei and others also gave Fang Hao some comments, especially the part of science popularization and appraising treasures. Zhou Mei felt that Fang Hao's explanation was too detailed, which would make the audience feel boring.

Fang Hao listened to everyone's opinions and planned to write a new manuscript and shoot again, so Su Qihu asked Fang Hao to shoot here, just in time for Zhou Mei and the others to give their opinions.

Fang Hao thought this was good, but he didn't expect to finish the filming until almost midnight, which made him quite embarrassed. Although Su Qihu said it was nothing, he still sent a big red envelope to Zhou Mei and the others, counting it as hard work.

……

Fang Hao was sleeping, and suddenly heard the phone ringing, which woke him up, which made him very annoyed, and really wanted to throw the phone away.

The phone was brought over and found to be Li Mingchao's call, Fang Hao rubbed his eyes: "Why are you calling so early!"

"It's almost ten o'clock and it's still early! Did you do something bad yesterday?" Li Mingchao said meanly.

"It's ten o'clock?"

Fang Hao picked up his phone and looked at it, and it was already past ten o'clock: "You have a dirty mind, I was shooting video very late yesterday, and it was almost two o'clock when I went to bed."

"Hey, are you really going to shoot a short video?"

Fang Hao mentioned this to Li Mingchao on the Internet before, and Li Mingchao joked that he must not be able to shoot well: "When the finished product is out, remember to show me first."

"That's for sure, I still need your opinion." Fang Hao became more sober: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Today I will take someone to dig out the old house." Li Mingchao said mysteriously.

"Is there still an old house to buy in this year?"

If a few years ago, Li Mingchao said that there was an old house to be excavated, Fang Hao would definitely get up immediately in joy, but in these years, the old house has been torn out in a random manner, and the rest is either not good, or simply A liar is a liar.

"Don't worry, it won't be a liar." Li Mingchao said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, it is actually a Tibetan friend that my uncle knew. Because of his family's opposition, he can no longer collect. He is going to dispose of some collections. It happened. It happened that my uncle didn’t have time to go, so I volunteered to go and find out.”

Fang Hao said: "Since it's your uncle's way, is it right for me to go?"

"It was my uncle who asked me to take you there, saying that it would be more reassuring." Li Mingwang asked curiously: "According to what my uncle said, he seems to respect you very much. I don't know if something happened. something wrong?"

Fang Hao said: "It's not clear on the phone, let's talk about it later."

After making an appointment with Li Mingchao, Fang Hao got up to wash up, went downstairs to buy some breakfast, met Li Mingchao while eating, and then went to the Tibetan friend's house.

On the way, Fang Hao learned what was going on from Li Mingchao. To put it simply, this man has been collecting for five years and spent nearly 600 million on buying collections. He will spend as long as he thinks it is good for porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and bronzes. The money was spent to buy it, and finally bought nearly half of the room.

The family couldn't stand it, and they made a very strong statement that they wanted him to dispose of all the collections, or let him live alone. He had no choice but to agree.

Knowing that this is the case, Fang Hao is very pessimistic about this trip: "One hammer to the east, one hammer to the west, how much of this collection do you think will be high-quality goods?"

There is an old saying in the antique business, it is better to buy one piece for [-] than [-] pieces for [-].If you buy ten pieces, its aesthetics and value appreciation can't compare with this one.And if you buy everything, how can you guarantee its authenticity?Senior collectors will be fooled even in categories that have been studied for many years, let alone dabble in multiple categories at once.

Li Mingchao said with a smile: "I knew you would say that. You think I'm stupid. I don't understand these reasons. My uncle told me that he has at least two boutiques worth hundreds of thousands. If we buy one, we make money."

Fang Hao felt a little drowsy, and after hearing this, he couldn't cheer up even more. After such a trip, he might not earn as much as he made in a day, so it's no wonder he can cheer up.The key is that you may not be able to buy it, and it is even more boring to think about it.

After a while, the two of them appeared in a community within the fourth ring road in the west of the city. Li Mingchao inquired and took Fang Hao to find the target house.

"Ding dong!"

"coming!"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. She looked at Fang Hao and Li Mingchao with a little surprise in her expression: "Boss Zhu introduced you?"

Li Mingchao smiled and said: "Yes, Boss Zhu is my uncle. He didn't have time today, so he entrusted us to come here."

Speaking of which, he introduced himself and Fang Hao.

"Can you do it?"

The woman muttered something in her heart, with a smile on her face, and invited the two into the house.

After entering the room, Fang Hao noticed that not far away was an old man in his 70s who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with a blank expression.

The woman introduced: "That's my dad, he bought those antiques."

Hearing the word "antique", Ye Qisheng looked this way and let out a cold snort.

The woman smiled embarrassedly: "My dad is losing his temper, don't worry about it!"

Ye Qisheng turned his head and said loudly, "The antiques I have worked so hard to save for so many years are about to be sold by you. Would you be happy if it were you?"

The woman said patiently: "Dad, we didn't stop you from collecting at the beginning, but after a few years, look at what your so-called precious collections are. If this continues, the house will be full of fakes. It's out!"

Ye Qisheng became even more upset when he heard it: "I don't like to hear what you say. What do you mean the house is full of fakes? They are all real, okay?"

"Is it all true?" The woman beckoned to the two of them: "Come here and have a look, can it be true?"

Seeing the three people walking towards his collection room, Ye Qisheng became a little anxious, stood up from the sofa after a while, and quickly chased after them: "Hey, you should be careful, I have a lot of them." Collections are fragile!"

Soon, Fang Hao saw what the woman said.

It was a wooden box, and on the outside of the wooden box was a seal of the "Forbidden City Preservation Committee", and the seal was stamped with "Zhao Erxun's seal".

On the right side of the box surface, there is a red seal stamped with "The Seal of the Imperial Palace of the Republic of China", and on the left side there is a registration paper with the words "Peking Antiquities Exhibition Office, Ministry of the Interior". The original location column is "Mountain City", and the current starting point column is "Jinling".

Seeing such a thing, Fang Hao felt a little speechless. Isn't this a scam several years ago?
