Chapter 116: Old Man Guan (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Wu Duo thought about it for a while, this beard is a bit strange.
At this moment, Zhang Chengjin's mobile phone rang.
This phone uses a private number. Hu Yunde once said that not many people know this number.
Zhang Lao looked at the caller ID, stood up, walked to the window, and picked it up.
He did not shy away from Wu Duo, and Wu Duo did not leave the office. The voice in the earpiece must not be heard, but you can also know a rough idea from Zhang Lao's words:
"Old man Guan, but I haven't been in touch for a few days. β
"I'm in Qizhou, where are you?"
"Oh, you're coming to Qizhou?"
"I'm in the shop in the antique city of Daya Zhai. β
"What? You're right in front of Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·the store? Then you wait a minute, I'll hang up first. β
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chengjin said to Wu Duo, "An old man Guan from Yanjing is here, and I don't know which one to singΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Let's go, no matter why he came, I'll just take you to get to know him. β
"Isn't it the old man Guan Zhiyu you are talking about?" When Wu Duo heard this, he immediately remembered the "Jianbao Tianzi Number" that the old rich man had told him.
"Yes. Do you know him?" Zhang Chengjin was slightly stunned, but now that he was going out to greet him, he didn't ask much.
Wu Duo followed Zhang Chengjin out.
When Zhang Chengjin and Wu Duo walked to the door, the bearded man actually put down the bronze Buddha statue and walked to the door; Hu Yunde couldn't help frowning, beckoned to Huang Wei, and motioned for her to come over and look at things first, and walked behind Zhang Lao himself.
There was an old man with a white beard standing at the door, not tall, looking more than eighty years old, very thin, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
The old man wore a gray Mao suit, pedals round cloth shoes, held an ordinary bamboo cane in his right hand, raised his left hand, and said with a smile to Zhang Chengjin, "Chengjin, we haven't seen each other for five years, right?"
At this moment, the bearded man walked up to the old man and whispered a few words to him.
Zhang Chengjin looked at his beard, and said to the old man, "Old man Guan, I haven't seen you for three years." I went to Yanjing three years ago and met you at Mr. Gao's house. β
"Oh, yes, old fool. At that time, Xiao Gao said that he had a Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar, but after reading it, he sighed!"
Zhang Chengjin smiled, "Old man Guan, come to my office to talk." β
Wu Duo thought to himself, at that time, the old rich man also said that he didn't know if Guan Zhiyu was still alive, but now he looks at it, his body bones are quite tough.
In this way, this bronze statue of Jizo Bodhisattva in Shisuo is Guan Zhiyu's thing? This beard was arranged by Guan Zhiyu?
What is he doing here?
Guan Zhiyu's right hand bamboo cane was slightly raised, "Isn't there a reception area over there?" β
When Zhang Chengjin heard this, he didn't say anything more, "Okay, then listen to you." β
So, a group of people came to the round table again, stood down first, Zhang Chengjin introduced Hu Yunde and Wu Duo to Guan Zhiyu, and introduced Guan Zhiyu to them, "You are fortunate to meet Mr. Guan today, an old man with high eyesight, and he is a pyramid tip in the Chinese antique world!"
Guan Zhiyu's face was indifferent, and he waved his hand, "It's true that you are old, and you don't dare to be a deshao." β
Then he said to Hu Yunde, "Xiaohu, I have heard your name, you have excellent eyesight, and you are in the prime of life. β
"Old man Guan has won the prize. Hu Yunde smiled and arched his hand.
Guan Zhiyu looked at Wu Duo again, "Xiao Wu is so young that he can serve as an appraiser in Daya Zhai in Chengjin, which really surprises me." β
Wu Duo is neither humble nor arrogant, "Old man Guan, I am mainly here to learn." β
Guan Zhiyu nodded, patted his bearded arm and introduced to Zhang Chengjin: "This bearded man is called Wang Wei, and he is my nephew, come out with me and give him a hand." There was also a driver in the car in the parking lot outside, and I wouldn't let him come, he hadn't seen the world, he couldn't speak. β
"Old man Guan, let's sit down and talk?" Zhang Chengjin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Hu Yunde said, "I'll arrange tea." β
In this reception area, everyone can only sit around the round table in the middle.
The bronze statue of the Bodhisattva Jizo made of stone is still placed in the center of the round table.
Zhang Chengjin didn't mention it, to be precise, Zhang Chengjin didn't speak after sitting down, just looked at Guan Zhiyu with a smile.
Guan Zhiyu turned his head and looked at the beard beside him, "Wang Wei, if I hadn't called Cheng Jin, I heard that he happened to be in the store, I wouldn't have come in." As a result, you haven't sent it out yet. β
The beard didn't speak, just lowered his head and scratched his eyebrows.
Zhang Chengjin then spoke, "Old man Guan, are you asking your nephew to send a bronze statue to my store, and at the same time you want to talk to me alone?"
"If I send it directly, it's not because I'm afraid that you won't accept it! I haven't been to Qizhou for many years, so how can I be empty-handed? However, if I give it to you for nothing, I will look down on you! The bronze Buddha statue in Shisuo is very difficult to touch on the market now, and there are many people who want to invite you!"
Guan Zhiyu paused, "As a result, you happen to be in the store when you call, I have to see you, so let's talk about it!"
Zhang Chengjin interface, "Old man, things are good things." But no matter how good things are, they can't compare to love!"
Guan Zhiyu nodded solemnly, "I believe you when you say this." β
Wu Duo sat aside, embarrassed, and a little unbearable. These two old-fashioned styles, they have done too much to save face, and they haven't gotten to the point for a long time.
This situation seems to be that Guan Zhiyu has something to do in Qizhou, and he has asked Zhang Chengjin. He still ran a trip at such an old age, which shows that the matter is not small.
In Wu Duo's view, Zhang Chengjin seems to be respectful to Guan Zhiyu, but most of them are polite, and Guan Zhiyu is also secretly scheming.
So Wu Duo guessed that although the two had known each other for a long time, their friendship was not very deep, and it was more like a movement of interests.
While Wu was pondering, Guan Zhiyu pointed at him, "This Xiao Wu is very good when he looks at it." When people are old, there is nothing left, so they look forward to a good future generation. Cheng Jin, you make me ashamed!"
"You're being too modest. β
"Alas, let's just talk about my youngest grandson, it's really not worry-free! No, a few days ago, I said that I came to Qizhou with my friends to collect a Buddha head from Northern Qi, and it turned out that I was made a bureau! But this bureau is really clever enough. Guan Zhiyu finally got to the point:
"Originally, things that can be solved with money are not called problems. However, we can't spend money in vain, and we still don't know who is the main owner of the game!"
Zhang Chengjin frowned, "The Buddha head of Northern Qi, it's better to control the cultural relics if you don't make trouble!"
"So, there may be a trick in this game. More importantly, is it against my grandson, or at me, an old man who is buried in the loess to his neck?"
