Meng Zitao nodded and said: "This is indeed made of rubellite, first of all, from the naked eye, ruby has poor gloss and no texture, while southern red agate is moist, and secondly, irradiated with a strong flashlight, ruby is almost opaque." ”

"If it is a real southern red, under strong light, even the fleshy southern red will have the texture of glass, the texture of gelatin, and the unique silk pattern in agate, while ruby does not. ”

As he spoke, he turned on the strong flashlight and shone at the rubellite, Shu Ze stepped forward to take a look, and it was exactly the same as he said.

Seeing Shu Ze's surprised and embarrassed look, Meng Zitao continued: "Actually, there is another variety that is more deceptive than red and jasper. ”

"What?"

"It's called Ujiama. ”

Shu Ze asked a little strangely, "What do you mean?"

Meng Zitao said: "As the name suggests, it is a variety of low-quality southern red agate and ruby jasmine, and the reason why it is said that Wujiama is more deceptive is because under the illumination of the strong light flashlight, it will also show the characteristics of translucent light, and many novices will miss in this link." ”

"Speaking of which, I also lost my hand on Ujiama at the beginning, and if my friend hadn't advised me, I would have lost thousands of dollars this time. ”

When Shu Ze heard Meng Zitao say this, he immediately became interested: "Oh, what the hell is going on, let's hear it?"

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, the scam I encountered at the beginning was very common, the scammer dressed as a farmer, set up a stall, on which was placed an ornament made of Wujiama, saying where it was dug up, and someone next to him said that he wanted to buy it, but the money was not enough. Just go get the money. ”

"I was also confused and thought there was a chance to pick up the leaks. I just wanted to buy something, but luckily my friend happened to pass by. Remind me that it was a hoax and that I wasn't fooled. ”

Shu Ze listened to the story and smiled: "Haha, I see that your eyesight is quite high, you will be fooled by this kind of scam!"

Meng Zitao countered: "I have only been in the industry for a long time, and I don't know much about the way of this industry, so it is normal to be deceived. But at least I'm not going to make an eye out of this ruby right now. ”

Looking at the teasing look in Meng Zitao's eyes, Shu Ze looked a little embarrassed: "This thing was given to me by someone else, how do I know that guy is so unreliable." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "I think you should thank me, otherwise this kind of thing will be taken out and given away." When someone finds out, your face is disgraced. ”

Shu Ze smiled: "That's right, I toast you." ”

"Ding. ”

The two clinked glasses, Shu Ze took a big sip of wine, and said, "By the way, how should you identify the Ujiama you said?"

Meng Zitao said: "The difference between pure southern red and Wujiama is mainly based on the color, Wujiama is much darker than Nanhong agate, and the color is not pure, and there are more impurities. It is also relatively dry and lacks a cohesive texture. This doesn't sound intuitive, but I'll send you the photos when I get back. With contrast, it is understood. ”

"Okay. Shu Ze smiled.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Meng Zitao asked, "That's right." You haven't told me yet, let me come to Jinling this time. What the hell is going on?"

Shu Ze smiled and said, "You know about my uncle's birthday next month, right?"

Meng Zitao immediately thought of the reason why Shu Ze asked him to come over: "Do you want me to come over and help you identify?"

Shu Ze said, "Yes. There is a place where it is not convenient for me to invite people to visit. ”

"Where?"

"An antiques exchange association. ”

Meng Zitao was a little puzzled when he heard it, and he didn't know what it was inconvenient to invite others to this kind of place.

Shu Ze saw Meng Zitao's expression and said with a smile: "Do you know the kind of institutions in the market that are 'trading centers' and 'exchange associations'?"

Meng Zitao reacted immediately, and then he was a little puzzled, because he knew very well what the virtues of these institutions were.

In China, there is a certain threshold for the establishment of an auction company, which requires certain qualifications, which is not something that ordinary people can do, so now another form of so-called "auction company" has appeared in various places, that is, some "exchange associations", "trading centers" and so on.

Under the guise of providing antique exchange and trading services, these institutions charge customers all kinds of high fees, but in fact, there are no special appraisers in some places, and they are completely cheating money.

Meng Zitao thought for a while, felt that he understood Shu Ze's thoughts, and said: "In this kind of place, you want to say that good goods do exist, but more of them are fakes, right? Besides, is it good to deal with liars?"

Shu Ze said with some tears and laughter: "I didn't say that it was that kind of institution, it's just similar......"

Shu Ze explained the situation, and Meng Zitao understood what was going on.

It turned out that the organizers mentioned by Shu Ze were similar to this kind of exchange association, which was to hold antique fairs in the name of exchange and trading.

Specifically, the seller finds the organizer with his own things, pays an entrance fee, and then he can sell his things at the trade fair, and after the transaction, he will charge 10% of the fee according to the transaction amount, and the admission fee can be deducted.

In addition, the buyer will have to pay 5% of the transaction price.

Meng Zitao said: "This business is really easy to do, as a middleman, you can earn 15%, which is really black-hearted." ”

Shu Ze said with a smile: "People have connections to organize this trade fair, and everything can be sold there." ”

Meng Zitao was surprised: "Can you really sell anything?"

Shu Ze said: "As long as it's not something too conspicuous like a bronze tripod, it's generally fine." ”

"Aren't you afraid of accidents?" Meng Zitao asked again.

Shu Ze said: "Hehe, how can they not be afraid of accidents, so every time they hold this kind of trade fair, they only know where it is on the day of the fair, and they must take the car they arranged." Of course, they also have their own methods, and there are usually no problems anyway. ”

"However, I don't usually go to this kind of place, and if I hadn't heard that something was there, and I was curious to see it, I wouldn't have gotten there. ”

Meng Zitao asked with some curiosity, "What is it?"

Shu Ze said: "A seal of the scholar of the Baohe Temple of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. ”

The scholar of the Bohol Temple, in fact, is the scholar of the palace, and this official position originated in the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the prime minister was abolished, but the position of prime minister was abolished, and the major government affairs of the country were handled by the emperor himself.

So he set up another palace scholar, attendant left and right, for advisers, and later, the palace scholar participated in decision-making, and gradually formed a cabinet system.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were more names for the scholars of the palace, including "scholars of the Zhonghe Temple", "scholars of the Baohe Temple", "scholars of the Wenhua Palace" and so on.

Meng Zitao said, "You want to give it to Zheng Lao?"

Shu Ze said: "Of course not, I don't want to look at a collection, but the owner of the collection just doesn't sell it, I asked people to inquire about his hobbies, knowing that he likes to collect this kind of seal, so I want to buy it and exchange it." Of course, it's rare to go to such a trade fair, and you always have to see if there are other good things. ”

Meng Zitao nodded in understanding.

Chatting, drinking, and having a meal, two hours passed.

After being full of wine and food, the two were ready to leave, at this time, Meng Zitao received a call from Zeng Yushi, which made him happy in his heart, it seemed that Xiaoyun had an echo.

"Shopkeeper Meng, I told Xiaoyun about you. Zeng Yushi said.

Meng Zitao hurriedly asked, "What did Xiaoyun say?"

Zeng Yushi said: "She said, if there is no important matter, it is best not to look for Xiao He ......"

Meng Zitao was stunned for a moment, and interrupted: "Did she say what the reason was?"

Zeng Yushi said: "This is not enough, but she said that when you go to Ling City after a while, they will invite you to dinner." ”

"Oh, thank you......"

After a few polite words, Meng Zitao was about to hang up the phone, and after thinking about it again, he still asked Zeng Yushi for Xiaoyun's phone number. However, Zeng Yushi told him that Xiaoyun contacted him from a public phone.

In this regard, Meng Zitao had no solution except a wry smile.

"What, it didn't turn out well?" asked Shuze.

Meng Zitao said helplessly: "Don't contact He Wanyi if I'm fine, I don't know what's going on." ”

Shu Ze said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "She said that she would go to Lingshi for a while, I think it's better to follow her words." Besides, I don't even have their contact information, what else can I do?"

"Stupid, didn't you just ask for it?" asked Shu Ze.

Meng Zitao said: "Why didn't you ask for it, the key is that he said that his daughter was contacted by a functional phone, even if he said a lie, what can I do?"

Shu Ze smiled: "If you want me to help, I guarantee that it won't be long before I can find out where they live now." ”

Meng Zitao refused: "Forget it, even if I find out where they are now, what's the use?

Shu Ze laughed, a little gloating, and said, "I told you a long time ago that you want to seize the opportunity, and now you regret it, right?"

Meng Zitao pursed his lips: "Since I decided, what's the use of regretting?"

Shu Ze smiled and said, "So, don't waste any more opportunities." Let me give you an example, my cousin, his family has a lot of money, and he can be good-looking, in the words of Shixing now, he is a typical rich and handsome, and when he was studying, some girls chased after him. ”

"He was in love with a girl in his class at the time, but his personality was similar to yours, and he was also indecisive, suffering from gains and losses, and finally being chased by others. The key is that his rival in love, except for a mouth, what do you want, how depressed do you say? Therefore, you can't miss the opportunity again, otherwise some will regret it. ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I have made a decision, it will not be the same as before." (To be continued.) )
