Chapter 199: Reliable People
At noon the next day, Professor Xu really arrived at Jinguzhai, and had already made an appointment on the phone before, confirming that Zuo Yucheng would be in the store at that time, so he came over.
Professor Hu originally wanted to come along, but as soon as the news of his arrival in Luochuan spread, many people invited him, and they all turned it down, so Professor Xu came by himself.
As soon as he came in, Dong Qing hurriedly greeted him attentively, but Professor Xu waved his hand: "Okay, you are busy with your going, aren't there guests over there?" ”
"Okay, Makoko is upstairs, I'll ask Xiaoye to call him down. Professor Xu, you go up and sit down for a while. After Dong Qinggang finished speaking, he found that Ye Xiaochi didn't need his prompt, he had already gone upstairs.
He let Professor Xu in, and then went to accompany the customer, the people over there were still speculating about the reason why Dong Qing was so enthusiastic, and when he heard the conversation between the two of them, a man said: "Professor Xu, is it Professor Xu who participated in the appraisal of the Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl in the art museum yesterday?"
Dong Qing replied: "That's right, it's him, Professor Xu, he and our store owner are New Year's friends, and the relationship is real." ”
Professor Xu heard that the fat boy was using his name to advertise their store, so he coughed and motioned for him to shut up. Dong Qing listened, so he stopped, but he also had a good impression in front of the customer.
The stairs sounded softly, Zuo Yucheng walked down, and Ye Xiaochi followed behind. As for the intention, Professor Xu did not elaborate on the phone. Zuo Yucheng didn't know that there were no new products in the store recently, so it shouldn't be for the antiquities in his store.
"Busy?" Professor Xu first said hello to Zuo Yucheng, and when he saw Zuo Yucheng coming over and was busy making tea for him, he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't make it, I still have to take students in the afternoon, don't stay longer, I have a reluctant request this time, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
Asking him for help? This made Zuo Yucheng feel strange, what could he do to help Professor Xu?
"Do you know the captain surnamed Xiao, I heard that his name is Xiao Yun, and others told me that you two grew up in the same alley. ”
"Yes, Professor Xu, are you still interested in that bowl? What do you think of that bowl?" Zuo Yucheng said.
"Well, I know that you can guess the reason as soon as you hear it, I heard that Xiao Yun may be in charge of the case related to Ren Zhiyong, I am indeed interested in that bowl, yesterday the time was too short, I don't understand it very well, and I am a little worried. So I'd like to ask you to contact your friend and see if I can go and see if I can take a look. ”
Zuo Yucheng actually has this idea, and with his experience, as long as this matter is still in Xiao Yun's bureau, he can almost do it as soon as he says it, after all, he has helped Xiao Yun a lot in private.
"I'll help you ask about this, if you can do it, I'll contact you immediately, what do you think?" One is also watching, and the two are also watching, since he also wants to go, and then bring Professor Xu He doesn't think it's a big problem. To be able to establish a personal relationship with an authority like Professor Xu, I am afraid that Xiao Yun will not be able to ask for it.
Seeing that he agreed, Professor Xu felt that he should have a good relationship with Xiao Yun, and it seemed that this thing could almost be done, if this was the case, it would be a matter of his heart.
But I heard Zuo Yucheng ask him: "What do you think of that bowl yesterday?" When the two of them spoke, their voices were not loud, and the door was closed, so they couldn't go outside, so they could chat with confidence, and Ye Xiaochi was also outside to receive customers with Dong Qing.
Professor Xu shook his head and let out a long breath: "I'm not optimistic, I just think it's wrong, but I can't say what's wrong." If I don't figure it out, I'm afraid I'll be so aggrieved that I won't be able to sleep well. By the way, Lao Hu also wanted to go with me to see the bowl, and he also wanted to see what was going on. Tell me that if there are too many people, you can bring me with you as much as possible. ”
If Xiao Yun minded, Professor Xu decided to abandon Old Man Hu, anyway, he wanted to see it himself, as for Old Man Hu, if he could let him get wet, then he would dip it, if he couldn't get it, he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
"Professor Xu, you are really a dead friend and an immortal poor Dao. Okay, I'll ask for you. I can't say more, I still know a little bit about Professor Hu. ”
Professor Xu smiled: "No, no one else, of course Xiaohong also wants to see it, but this time, forget it, don't take him first, and talk about it if you have the opportunity in the future." ”
"Brother Hong, if he knew this, he should protest. Zuo Yucheng said, still pouring a cup of tea for Professor Xu. Professor Xu is thin and likes to drink green tea, which he knows.
"If you don't say it, he won't know if I don't say it, haha. By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you. ”
He took the teacup in his hand as he spoke, raised it and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and then then told Zuo Yucheng: "I recently received a task to let me and two other people go abroad at the end of the year to participate in the Simpsons auction. ”
Professor Xu is familiar with the antique market, and when he heard this number, he knew that they were afraid that they would have to act as a background board this time, and they really didn't know how many things they could photograph. There are more than 200,000 pieces of porcelain, and whether they can take them down will break through the single digits is completely bottomless.
Zuo Yucheng already knew through the grapevine that Professor Xu would participate, and hearing him say this was just a confirmation. Not surprised.
Seeing his calm expression, Professor Xu said, "You really know, did Xiao Zhang tell you?"
"Yes, you know this person?" Mr. Zhang has been here twice, and he is very secretive about his situation, only saying that the elders are engaged in collecting, and he does not spit anything else.
"Of course I know, I know his father, speaking of which, his father is a few years older than me, and now Yanjing. Their ancestors have been big officials for several generations, but to Xiao Zhang's father's generation, it is very bumpy, the old man suffered a lot of sins in the past few years, the foundation is broken, and now he can't go far away, raised at home, compared with him, I don't have enough knowledge to see, he is called the origin of family learning. ”
"So, did you see Mr. Zhang this time?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhang came to me in the morning, let me organize it and find some excellent students to help collect information. ”
Zuo Yucheng listened, raised his eyebrows and asked, "He wants to collect information on the shipwreck?"
"That's right, he told me, so I know he's talked to you about that. There is also a meaning that you will be invited to participate in this matter. Don't you mean that too?"
Considering that the people in China let it go unchecked, sooner or later people of different races will be allowed to go to the door of their homes to salvage the treasures, whether it is Zuo Yucheng or Professor Xu, they hope that their own country will salvage them, and they don't want those treasures to be picked up by other races in vain.
But Zuo Yucheng doesn't know enough about Mr. Zhang, if this person takes the lead, he is afraid of working hard and making a wedding dress for others.
Professor Xu obviously expected this and told him: "This matter was brought up by his father Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, who is still very reliable, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of antiques donated by their family to major museums, especially the Tianjin Museum, is about to catch up with the sum of all the things in your store." ”
