Although her mind was a little cloudy, Yasuko Sawaguchi's reaction was not slow, and she immediately bowed 45 degrees to apologize, and at the same time said in English: "I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

In this regard, Zhang Nan just smiled and nodded slightly, and said in Chinese: "Those who don't know are not guilty." ”

Knowing that she should be able to understand this sentence, who made her just come back from Huaxia and make up for Chinese, there is no big problem.

What should I do if I really don't understand?

Cold salad, anyway, it doesn't matter to Zhang Nan.

As for why you can answer her in such a way?

Naturally, this is the most polite!

The little devil is hierarchical, the status of the guests is high, the status of the superiors is high, the status of the elders is high, and the status of the men is high... This pile is high, and Yasuko Sawaguchi is also sad.

There are no human rights.

Zhang Nan was a guest before, equivalent to a superior, and now he is already the boss - before coming, Takai Yingyuki had already told her about the company being controlled, her contract was not good, and it would take ten years to be free, and it would not be okay if she didn't respect the boss.

Of course, the high status of men in Japanese society is not as high as the old ladies of the new big boss, so when Matsuoka Gong knew that it was not a lady but a lady, he actually bowed at a 45-degree angle and apologized.

The president apologized, and the three behind immediately followed, which made Zhang Nan very unhappy!

Why?

The other party is also a big man in the Japanese film industry, and if he bows and apologizes like this, it is not good for his side not to express it. Besides, even if he acquires most of Dongbao's shares, if there is no accident among the four people in front of him, he should also control a lot of the remaining shares of Dongbao.

is also a major shareholder, and can barely be regarded as a level, at least how does Zhang Nan understand it.

Zhang Nan also bent down slightly to show politeness, which caused Nicole and Jenny to bend down as well.

It's not cool, it's really unpleasant!

It's not at some memorial ceremony, bend your head and waist!

After some introduction, I finally dealt with the uncomfortable politeness, and then entered the huge box.

Alyosha and other bodyguards left after the boss sat down, this was out of respect for each other, as for Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, 5 Japan already knew that one of them was Mr. Allen's brother-in-law, and the other was the eldest brother, and it was only natural that he was officially seated.

And the cunning Matsuoka Gong knows: This Mr. Xiang is not simple!

Can it be simple to make a loyal personal bodyguard give up his position on the employer's side?

Probably a real master.

Of course, Zhang Nan was seated, but he didn't let everyone sit in accordance with Japanese dining etiquette: if you have a treat, or Chinese food, you have to follow Chinese habits.

As a result, after some politeness, the seats sat in a cross shape, Matsuoka Gong sat on Zhang Nan's side, and Xiang Weirong on the other side.

As for Nicole and Jenny, Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was originally sitting 100% down, was sandwiched in the middle.

Anyway, everyone finally sat down politely.

Without that group of tough, even cold bodyguards on the side, the 4 Japanese men felt that the pressure dropped sharply, and the pressure on those bodyguards was too great.

Even Yasuko Sawaguchi, although she had spent some time with Mr. Allen's bodyguards before, most of them were already familiar. But this time some people haven't seen it, especially with two giants who put too much pressure on her!

That height is in the eyes of Yasuko Sawaguchi, and he can go to the center of the national basketball team.

Japan has a giant center forward who is 2.30 meters tall, but in the eyes of Sawaguchi Yasuko, that guy is like a fool, clumsy and clumsy. And just now the two people behind Mr. Allen were different, with fierce manners and eyes!

It's not "stupid" at all.

Especially the one who is a little shorter, with a sideways face, and looks even darker than the Yamaguchi-gumi-society, how do you look like a peerless murderer!

and the other party's figure, at first glance, the handmade suit can't stop the explosive muscles, which is several levels stronger than those long-term athletes of the Japanese men's basketball team!

"One weighs at least as much as three of me, right?"

Can't help but think about it.

Yasuko Sawaguchi weighs less than 45 kilograms, while Mark and Jacob each weigh more than 135 kilograms, and she is more than three!

As soon as all parties are combined, in the eyes of Jingzi, those two are simply prehistoric monsters!

Although the monster is gone, other pressures are coming.

This will put pressure on Sawaguchi Yasuko not Guan Xingquan with emotionless eyes: she has dealt with her before, and she knows that Mr. Guan is actually very talkative-naïve child, I really don't know that Boss Guan is more troublesome to kill than to crush an ant.

The hidden pressure comes from that Mrs. Nicole Lopez!

That aura Yasuko has never seen before, and occasionally seeing Lady Nicole look at her is like being able to see through people!

Yasuko felt a little wronged: she really respected Mr. Allen, and besides, last time Miss Adjani was here, I was a small translator and a small tour guide......

What's even more awkward is that Yasuko feels like Lady Nicole is looking at her as if she is looking at an object of her own!

Poor thing, if she knew that Nicole and Jenny used to be on the lace side, and this would not have fully returned to normal, Yasuko would probably have pulled out her legs and ran.

……

The guest and the host were harmonious, and because this would be Matsuoka Gong should be considered a guest, so he brought a gift.

Yasuko Sawaguchi took two 30-centimeter-square gift boxes from the table on the side of the box, with the same thickness, about seven or eight centimeters, and the packaging was extremely exquisite, which was very in line with the Japanese concept of packaging for gifts.

"Mr. Allen, President Matsuoka has learned that you like Chinese antiques, and I would like to give you a pair of small gifts, I hope you will enjoy them. ”

bent over again, and offered it with both hands, so that Zhang Nan had to take it with both hands quite formally.

"Miss Yasuko, can we be casual, I'm really not used to being polite and polite like this. ”

I feel that things are a bit weighty, and I know that Matsuoka Gong and the others are not very proficient in English, so Zhang Nan said a few words quickly, anyway, they can't understand it.

It doesn't matter if you understand it, Zhang Nan doesn't care if he loses the etiquette of the little devil, if he continues to have such endless and fake etiquette, Zhang Nan is likely to let the other party know what the American-style faux pas are!

Yasuko Sawaguchi finally couldn't help but bend down, just nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Allen." ”

Japanese people do not give gifts, but the exception is a pair of gifts, such as a pair of pens and two bottles of wine. But a pair of objects should be packed in two boxes, and Zhang Nan was a little curious about it.

For the sake of the other party, he also asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Nan doesn't care if the Japanese side can open the gift packaging in person, anyway, according to the protection rules that Thomas and Guan Boss and others got for themselves, this kind of item needs to be opened immediately, not stupidly and put it by his side for a long time.

Especially this kind of thing that looks like a landmine and weighs a bit of a lot.

Also, Zhang Nan was curious about what the other party would give him.

Knowing that the Japanese have a lot of rules for gift-giving, they are more picky, and when they say "a little meaning" when giving gifts in China, it will basically not be a small meaning. And if the Japanese say "a little meaning" when giving gifts, the box is probably a bar of soap, a small handkerchief...

100% trivial!

In Japan, there are many different rules for different occasions and different people.

This will say that he gave himself a small gift because he likes Chinese antiques - if Matsuoka Gong and these people give themselves things in the way of little devils, then these four will wait for Monday to go home and pick up the child!

As soon as the box is opened, a copper plate and a piece of Yuan Datou?

That is to look down on yourself, compared with this, hundreds of millions of dollars of investment can be put aside, and you have to let the other party know the price of faux pas!

But if Matsuoka Gong understands himself, it is really a "gift of sincerity and asking for people to do things", then Zhang Nan will be happy to accept it - from the value of the gift given by the other party, it is possible to see how Matsuoka Gong and others position themselves in Toho in the future, which is a good thing.

Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't know what was inside the box, so she asked Matsuoka in Japanese, and the other party got up and said a few words.

"It's a pair of ancient mirrors, Mr. Allen. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he gestured with his hand to the gift box on the table, and Matsuoka Gong smiled and said casually.

You have the etiquette of giving gifts, and the industry of playing antiques also has its rules: the same is true for people in the industry, you have to see it in person, otherwise who knows if the things inside are intact or have fallen.

Antiques, send, you also have to both sides to understand, receive understand, don't make a thankless effort, and leave a misunderstanding that is not easy to say.

didn't let Zhang Nan do it himself, Guan Xingquan came over and took the two boxes and opened them on the other side.

It seems random, but in fact, when untying the silk thread and unwrapping the colored paper, it is a very professional EOD technique.

Inside are two beautiful mahogany boxes, not brand new, supposed to be decades old.

At this time, Matsuoka Gong said a few words, and Yasuko Sawaguchi translated: "These are two bronze mirrors collected by Chairman Matsuoka's family many years ago, and they should still be relatively rare..."

Guan Xingquan opened all the two boxes, and there was a very distinctive bronze mirror in each of the golden pads, and Zhang Nan's eyes lit up.

Xiang Weirong saw the change in his brother-in-law's eyes, and said to Guan Xingquan in dialect: "Take it and take a look, Anan's city is still a little worse, and I can't hide my eyes when I see good things." ”

I have seen too many national treasures, Oriental and Western, ordinary treasures will not make Zhang Nan's eyes light up for a long time.

These are two mirrors, very special mirrors, even if it is a national treasure, it is impossible to be expensive enough for Zhang Nan to temporarily lose the city - the monetary value must be valuable to that extent, and this Matsuoka Gong can't afford it.

There is only one possibility left - something is rare, and Zhang Nan has also found a very special meaning.

Here Zhang Nan saw that since the other party would give him this thing, he didn't have to be polite, and he could handle it in the way of an antique collector.

Zhang Nan said a word, Guan Xingquan got up and went out to call Mark Callaway.

"My gloves. ”

Do you?

Don't.

If it was an ordinary bronze mirror, then he didn't need to wear gloves to get started at all, even the best black lacquer bronze mirror. But these two bronze mirrors are different, the real difference, Zhang Nan has never used it in his two lives combined!

Pick up one of them, the diameter is about seventeen or eighteen centimeters, the mirror rust is more severe, there are large patches of green rust - this is not the point, the focus is on the back of the mirror!

There are six sets of gold and silver mismatched ornaments on the back of the mirror!

Gold and silver wrong bronze mirror, rare in the world!

Three of the groups are twin dragon swirls, and each group is two deformed dragons, which are opposite to each other in an S shape and entwined with each other.

The three groups of twin dragon cartouches divide the back of the mirror into three zones, and the upper part of the mirror is a hunting pattern: a warrior wearing a crown with two feathers on his head, holding a sword in one hand and a rein in the other, is about to rush towards the tiger.

The tiger is fangs and claws, looking back to eat, one person, one horse and one tiger are lifelike.

The area on the left side of the mirror button is a pattern of two monsters really funny, and the area on the right side of the mirror button is like a phoenix bird with wings ready to fly.

The decoration of the entire mirror back is integrated, coupled with the gold and silver craftsmanship more than 2,000 years ago, this should be a superb work of art in the first place!

Zhang Nan read it carefully, and said more formally in English and Chinese to the people around him: "Gold and silver wrong hunting pattern, excavated from 1926 to 1934 in the Eastern Zhou tomb of Jincun, Luo-Yangmengjin-County, Yu Province.

The bronze sandwich composite mirror, the mirror material is bronze with high tin content, which is different from the material of the mirror back, which is very rare.

This kind of gold and silver mirror-making process can be said to represent one of the highest levels of mirror-making in the Warring States Period of China, and if I remember correctly, this bronze mirror should also be the earliest bronze mirror of Chinese characters found so far. ”

The earliest, the first...

Once you come across this "most", it's amazing.

To put it simply, this gold and silver wrong process is amazing, using gold and silver wire or gold and silver sheets to inlay patterns and words on the surface of the utensils, and then using the wrong stone to polish the surface of the utensils.

Such a beautiful gold, silver and bronze mirror is estimated to be unavailable to the ordinary small nobles at the beginning, and it is very likely that it is the burial goods of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

As for how did you get to Japan?

War of aggression against China?

This Zhang Nan doesn't know, but he knows where this mirror comes from, because if he hadn't appeared by himself, this mirror would have been found in a private museum called Eisei Bunko in Kyoto, 20 years later.

For everyone's curiosity, Zhang Nan continued: "The location of Mengjin-County Jin Village is exactly within the range of the ancient city of Han Weiluo-Yang, which is very interesting, dating back to the Warring States Period, where it is the burial area of the princes.

Around 1926 and 1934, the tombs of eight Eastern Zhou emperors or top nobles in Jincun were stolen and excavated, and most of the thousands of cultural relics unearthed were resold overseas.

According to the collected information, a Japanese archaeologist named Sueharu Umehara compiled a book "Luoyang Jincun Ancient Tomb Juying", which recorded 238 cultural relics.

In the bronze mirror unearthed from the Jincun tomb and flowing to the world together with the gold and silver wrong hunting pattern mirror, there are also a large number of treasures such as the gold and silver wrong dragon mirror, the three dragon painted openwork mirrors, the four beasts inlaid stone openwork mirrors, the jade inlaid glass mirrors, and the painted beaded arc mirrors, which are recorded in that book. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan pointed to the bronze mirror in another box and said, "That one is the bronze mirror with gold and silver dragon patterns." ”

Small button, round button, between the button seat and the edge there are six dragons entangled, the dragon body with the "gold and silver wrong" pattern, embedded gold and silver filaments as thin as hair!

"Among the top bronze mirrors in the same batch, I only know that there is a jade inlaid glass mirror, which will be in the history exhibition hall of Harvard University, and when I am free, I will see if I can discuss with them and exchange some Western art for something back. ”

Aren't you afraid of Matsuoka Gong they understand?

Don't be afraid, the origin of these two bronze mirrors is clear, and it is impossible for a few Japanese not to know.
