Chapter 10: Han Jinwen
After Liu Nan came out with the white bowl, he followed Lu Desheng into his car, and after starting, he went all the way forward.
Liu Nan, who was sitting in the car, was still a little dizzy, and he still didn't understand why he knew the information of this white bowl for no reason, this feeling was like a big pie, and it smashed on his head with a "bang".
"Little brother, I don't know what to call you?" Lu Desheng, who was in the driver's seat, looked at Liu Nan who was sitting in the back from the reversing mirror and said.
"My name is Liu Nan, just call me Xiao Liu. β
"Hehe, Xiao Liu, listen to your accent is also a local, you have such good eyesight at a young age, and now there are not many young people like you, I don't know who your teacher is? β
When Lu Desheng said this, Liu Nan's face was slightly red, how could he have any teacher, he could see that this thing was completely relying on his ability to run from nowhere.
"I, I don't have a master, I just like this thing more, and I usually read more books on antiques when I have nothing to do. β
"Oh, that's the case, that means little brother, you definitely have an amazing talent for antiques, I don't know which antique shop or pawn shop you work in now, little brother?"
"Hehe, I think you're mistaken, I'm not working on antiques. β
When Lu Desheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, in his opinion, Liu Nan has such a good eyesight, either he has a very powerful teacher, or he is often engaged in this kind of work, but he said that he has neither of them, which can't help but make Lu Desheng a little suspicious.
But since Liu Nan didn't want to say, he didn't ask any more, after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Little brother has such good eyesight, I don't know if he is interested in working in my store?"
"Going to work in your shop?" Liu Nan didn't expect him to suddenly invite him.
"Yes, I own an antique shop, but the original appraiser is about to retire, and it is no problem to be an appraiser with your eyesight, I don't know if you are interested? Of course, the treatment will definitely satisfy you, think about it?"
Liu Nan was a little stunned by what he said, saying that he didn't know anyone about his relationship with antiques, but he just came back and just needed a formal job, and now that the job has come to his door, how can Liu Nan refuse?
"Thank you then. Liu Nan said to Lu Desheng with a smile.
β¦β¦
Lu Desheng drove all the way to the pedestrian street in the eastern district of Zhangkou City, which is one of the most prosperous areas in Zhangkou City, and also the place with the highest consumption.
Parking the car in a parking lot at the entrance of the pedestrian street, the two got out of the car and walked towards the street.
Liu Nan looked at the dense crowd and couldn't help but sigh a little, when he left Zhangkou City a few years ago, it was just a newly built street, but after a few years, it has become the center of the entire city, which makes him sigh that time flies.
After walking in the crowd for about ten minutes, Liu Nan came to a door plaque with "Victory Antiques", this is a very ordinary storefront, compared with other extremely luxuriously decorated stores, it is like one in the sky and one on the ground, from the outside, the store has only one door plaque and two glass doors, the crowd comes and goes from here, and they don't even look here.
"This antique shop is mine, Xiao Liu, go in and have a look." β
"Hmm. Liu Nan agreed, and the two pushed open the door and walked in.
After entering, Liu Nan was suddenly stunned, the appearance of the store and the outside can be said to be very different, the house is about 100 square meters, the decoration is even more antique, all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings are neatly placed in the house, facing the door is a pair of framed brush words "victory antique", the plaque outside should be rubbed down by this word.
Lu Desheng saw Liu Nan's unit, smiled and said: "I open an antique store, there is no need to decorate the faΓ§ade too luxuriously, but the inside is different, most of the people who can afford to buy antiques are rich people, if it is too shabby, it will not be able to say." Okay, let's take a closer look later, I'll take you to get to know Han Lao, the appraiser in my store, but his temper is a little weird, I hope Xiao Liu will not be weird. β
Saying that, he walked towards a big round table in the middle of the room, Liu Nan also followed him, next to the table, an old man with white hair was lying on a chaise longue, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was holding a long cigarette pot in his hand, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and when Liu Nan and Lu Desheng came to him, he reacted, opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Desheng, and then closed his eyes again.
Han Lao's original name was Han Jinwen, originally a big man in the antique industry in Zhangkou City, worth tens of millions, but because of the failure of an investment, the value of tens of millions was lost, and then he no longer invested himself, and began to be someone else's appraiser, a few years ago, Lu Desheng changed his career from the pharmaceutical business to invest in antiques, and he brought Han Jinwen as his appraiser at a high price, and most of his knowledge about antiques came with Han Jinwen, so he also respected Han Jinwen very much.
"Old Han, when I went out for a walk today, I found a treasure, how about you take a look?" Lu Desheng said to Old Han who had his eyes closed.
"Baby, what baby?" Han Jinwen picked up the cigarette pot in his hand, took a hard puff, and asked with his eyes closed.
He was already accustomed to Han Lao's arrogant state, so he didn't say anything, took the white bowl from Liu Nan's hand, gently put it in front of Han Lao, and said: "I look like a fine white porcelain from Dehua kiln, but I have to talk about it after your old palm." β
"Hmm. Han Jinwen casually accommodated, but he didn't open his eyes to look at the bowl, it still looked like someone owed him how much money he owed.
After about a minute or two, Han Jinwen smoked all the tobacco in the smoke pot before slowly opening his eyes, but he still did not turn his gaze to the white bowl on the table, but first flicked the ashes in the smoke pot into the ashtray, and then said to a young man who was wiping porcelain in the distance: "Haochen, make me a pot Longjing." β
"Okay, master. When the young man heard Han Jinwen's words, he immediately put down the things in his hand and went to make tea, and then Han Jinwen set his eyes on the white bowl on the table.
"Xiao Lu, did you just say that this is the good thing you saw?" Han Jinwen said, pointing to the white bowl in front of him.
"Yes, when I went out this morning, I accidentally found this thing, I look like a white porcelain from the Dehua kiln in the Kangxi period, but this can only be determined after Han Lao's palm. β
"Well, your level of appreciation is already good, but it's still a little far from me, so let's take a look at what this thing is. With that, he took out a white glove from his shirt and put it on his hand, then took out a magnifying glass and began to observe.
Although Liu Nan didn't have a good impression of Han Lao's arrogance, he still admired the way he looked when he observed the white bowl, saying that he only relied on an ability that didn't know where to come from to find out the information of the white bowl, but now that he saw Han Jinwen's appearance, he knew what professionalism was.
He fiddled with the white bowl in his hand from side to side, carefully observed it with a magnifying glass, and finally stuck out his tongue to lick the worn part of the bottom of the white bowl, and then closed his eyes as if thinking about something.
"What is this doing?" Liu Nan didn't understand why Han Jinwen was licking this white bowl, so he asked directly.
Listening to Liu Nan's words, Lu Desheng frowned, he didn't understand why Liu Nan had high eyesight, but he asked such a rookie question, but he still answered: "Han Lao is checking whether the bottom of the bowl is old with chemicals, if the taste is sour, it means that the wear and tear at the bottom of the bowl is made of chemicals, this thing is a fake, if there is no sour taste, it means that this thing is a real thing." β
"Oh, I see. Liu Nan seemed to understand, but in fact, he still didn't understand what he said in his heart.
β¦β¦
It didn't take long for Han Lao to finally open his eyes, take a sip of tea, and said: "This thing is real, it should be a masterpiece of white porcelain bowls from Dehua kiln in the Kangxi period, but the bowl mouth is damaged a lot, and its value will drop a lot, and the market valuation is about 150,000." β
Lu Desheng had already expected this result, he smiled and said: "Old Han, I have already agreed with Brother Xiao Liu about this thing, and I am going to buy it for 100,000 yuan, and I have a more important thing to tell you today." β
"What's the important thing?"
"That's right, didn't you tell me some time ago that you were going to retire? Now I have a new appraiser!"
After Lu Desheng finished speaking, the young man standing behind Han Jinwen unconsciously clenched the teapot in his hand and looked at him nervously.
"Is it Haochen? This kid has been with me for so many years, but he is also qualified to be an appraiser, so I can retire with confidence. β
Lu Desheng hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but still said it: "Haochen, this kid is also qualified to do it, but I'm still going to let him exercise a little more, and I'm going to let my little brother Liu do it first." β
"Smack!"
The kettle in the young man's hand fell to the ground and shattered, the tea in it flowed all over the ground, and his hands were still trembling, Han Jinwen heard this, and the expression on his face twitched......
