Meng Zitao first picked up the scimitar to check, the handle is fine, it is indeed made of Chendustan craftsmanship, it is not imitated by the craftsmen in the palace, it should be original, which is quite rare.

Then, he took out a high-powered magnifying glass to look at the blade, and modern scientists have found that the unique pattern of the Damascus scimitar is actually composed of countless small serrations that are difficult to see with the naked eye, and it is these small serrations that increase the power of the Damascus scimitar.

The pattern on the Damascus steel knife is basically two materials with different properties, the bright place is pure snow charcoal iron, the hardness is greater than glass, and the structure of the dark place belongs to Vostian iron and Bolai iron, and the snow charcoal iron that is harder than glass is evenly scattered in the Bolai iron with high toughness, so that the Damascus steel knife can have a very sharp blade, and it is also very tough and will not break the blade.

Therefore, based on its forging principle, the real ancient Damascus knife is already easy to identify, its texture must be pickled, the knife that has not been pickled will never have obvious lines, there is no powder metallurgy and vacuum heat treatment in ancient times, all forging and quenching annealing are by feel.

Real Damascus knives are generally soft and tough, and their excellent cutting performance mainly depends on the sawtooth structure composed of microscopic crystals on the blade.

Putting down the magnifying glass, Meng Zitao nodded and said to the young man, "Yes, how much do you want to sell this knife?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the value of this knife, big brother, you can say as much as you want." ”

Meng Zitao looked at the young man and said with a smile: "You're not afraid that I will lie to you?"

The young man smiled shyly: "I believe that the eldest brother will not lie to me." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "In this case, let's talk about the price of this knife, you said earlier that it is worth millions for sure, and the highest price I can give is 800,000." In addition, I have a plan to bid at the auction, which may be higher than this price, but it depends on the situation of the auction, and I can't guarantee this. ”

"Also, given that you are not yet an adult, I suggest you call your mother over and let her make a decision, to sell or not to sell. ”

The boy hurriedly said, "I can make my own decisions." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If you take out your ID card, if you are over eighteen years old, I will buy it, otherwise it is impossible to change my decision." Do you have a cell phone?"

The boy shook his head, and Meng Zitao took out his work mobile phone and asked the boy to call.

At this time, Yu Xingyan appreciated the scimitar and exclaimed: "I have always heard that the Damascus scimitar is not only sharp, but also world-class. The knives of the aristocracy used a large number of jade and other gemstone inlays, and ordinary knives also used enamel, gold and silver staggered silk and other techniques. Moreover, the Damascus blade is hand-decorated, inlaid with clouds of gold and precious stones. Now it seems, what kind of gold and silver wires, just the blade of the knife is so charming, what kind of decoration?"

Speaking of this, Yu Xingyan squeezed his eyebrows at Meng Zitao and said, "Brother Meng, how about giving me this knife?"

"What's in it for me?" Meng Zitao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"We'll talk about that later. Yu Xingyan smiled, and then looked at the Dingyao bowl that he was most concerned about. He carefully picked up the artifact and observed it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and then asked Fang Lao to identify it, and the two of them chattered and confirmed the authenticity of the thing.

During this time, the boy came back after a phone call and told Meng Zitao that his mother would come over immediately.

Next, Meng Zitao and Yu Xingyan discussed the price, everyone was knowledgeable, and the price given did not come and go much, plus Meng Zitao considered picking up a leak from Yu Xingyan's hand, so he did not open his mouth.

Yu Xingyan felt that Meng Zitao was easy to speak, and his perception of Meng Zitao was also much better, and he said compliments in his mouth.

Yu Xingyan is a chatter, Meng Zitao can't stand him, it just so happened that at this time, the young man's mother came, and finally let Meng Zitao be relieved.

The boy's mother, surnamed Xu, first expressed her gratitude to Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao smiled: "You're welcome, I'm just at the right time." I wonder what Ms. Xu wants to do with this knife?"

Ms. Xu said: "I decided to sell the knife, otherwise they would not let our mother and son go at all if they were left in my house." ”

"No problem. Meng Zitao nodded: "Another point, I want to ask clearly, was this knife given by your ex-husband before he owed the debt?"

"That's for sure, if this weren't the case, we ordinary people would still be able to keep this knife!" Ms. Xu's tone contained hatred for those people.

"I studied law. ”

Yu Xingyan took over and said: "According to the law, if the father gives the property to the children first, the debts come later, and the father dies without leaving other property, the children are not obliged to repay the debts of the father during his lifetime. If the father gives property to the child, the creditor cannot directly claim the debt from the child after the debt, but should file a lawsuit with the court that the gift is invalid and the court will decide. However, the gift is not a house, and there will be a record, so there is no need to worry about them at all. ”

Ms. Xu smiled bitterly: "I have also consulted about this, but because there is no record, those people can mess around, how can our mother and son have the ability to fight against them." ”

Meng Zitao said: "As long as you are sure that it was given before the debt, as for the rest, you don't have to worry, besides, do you want to sell this knife now, or wait for the auction?"

"The auction isn't going to be right away. Ms. Xu said.

Meng Zitao said: "Yes, you will not be able to bid until next year, of course, if you are not at ease, you can also store things in the auction company." ”

Ms. Xu thought for a while and decided: "Then forget it, I'll sell it now, 800,000 yuan, can't you have more?"

"That's all I can give. Meng Zitao said: "If you agree, I will ask people to type an agreement, sign it, and I will give you money." ”

"Okay. Ms. Xu thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Meng Zitao called Hu Yuanliang over and asked him to draft and print the agreement in duplicate according to the template.

As soon as Hu Yuanliang went out, Zhu Xinyue came in and said that Boss Shi was here.

Hearing that Boss Shi was coming, both mother and son were a little panicked, Meng Zitao signaled them to rest assured, and then asked Zhu Xinyue to call Boss Shi in.

A moment later, Boss Shi walked in with the man just now.

"Shopkeeper Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time. Boss Shi arched his hand to Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao said politely, invited them to take a seat, and then said: "Boss Shi, if you came here for that knife, then needless to say, it has already been sold to me." ”

Boss Shi's eyes narrowed: "Shopkeeper Meng, there is no room for negotiation?"

"If you spend money on it, of course it's negotiable. Meng Zitao snorted.

"Hey!" Boss Shi sneered: "It seems that Shopkeeper Meng doesn't want to give me face?"

"Cut!" Meng Zitao sneered: "Call you Boss Shi, do you really think you are the boss?"

Boss Shi's face suddenly became gloomy: "Then I'll take my leave." ”

Meng Zitao didn't bother to get up to see him off: "I'll send you a word before leaving, if you walk too much at night, you will eventually meet ghosts, for example, when you went to Jiangcheng last month, don't think that no one knows." ”

Boss Shi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, turned his head and said, "You investigate me?!"

"Just because you're not worthy of my own investigation. Meng Zitao said lightly, he and Boss Shi have no grudges, and they can't investigate him, but the No. 3 department will investigate people in the jurisdiction who have a tendency to threaten, and as Boss Shi who walks in the gray chain of antiques, it is necessary to record.

And with Meng Zitao's current status in the No. 3 department, the Lingshi branch will send him relevant reports every month, and Boss Shi's information is also in it.

Compared with those tomb robbers, Boss Shi is not a heinous person, but it is normal to be locked up for a few years, if it weren't for Meng Zitao not wanting to startle the snake and attract the attention of the seller who traded with Boss Shi, he wouldn't have said the words of the reminder just now, and directly let people arrest Boss Shi and save trouble.

Boss Shi looked at the breezy Meng Zitao, and then thought of Meng Zitao's identity, he began to get nervous in his heart, could it be that Meng Zitao had the ability to kill him all?

After a while, Boss Shi, who really didn't dare to take risks, changed his expression: "Shopkeeper Meng, can you take a step to speak?"

Meng Zitao said lightly: "You go outside and wait first, and I'll call you later." ”

Boss Shi's heart was angry, but the more Meng Zitao was like this, the more he didn't act rashly and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Then I'll go out first." ”

Waiting for Boss Shi to go out, Hu Yuanliang walked in with the printed agreement.

Meng Zitao handed the agreement to the mother and son, and the other party saw that there was no problem, and Meng Zitao's performance also gave them confidence and signed it very happily.

Meng Zitao directly used the computer to transfer the account to them, and the mother and son went back happily.

Yu Xingyan got up and said, "Then I'll leave too, and when you solve that person's problem, can you tell me?"

"You must have this knife?" Meng Zitao asked when he saw that he had not given up yet.

Yu Xingyan said: "That's for sure, I always dreamed of a real Damascus knife, but I never got it." ”

Meng Zitao spread his hands: "But I have always wanted a Damascus knife." ”

Yu Xingyan said: "Oh, just let it be given to me, in your identity, you want a Damascus knife, isn't it easy to capture?"

The old god Meng Zitao said: "The key is that it is difficult to buy a good heart." ”

"Okay, what benefits do you want?" Yu Xingyan could only be tempted by profit.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I want something unique and tasteful, of course, the value should be similar to this Damascus knife, if you can meet my request, then I can't agree to your request." ”

"Is anything of any kind okay?" asked Yu Xingyan.

Meng Zitao said: "It's best to be related to cultural play." ”

Yu Xingyan agreed: "Okay, I found it to inform you, remember that you don't sell it to anyone else!"

"Two months, expired. Meng Zitao gestured.

"No problem......"

sent Yu Xingyan away, and it was Meng Zitao's turn to face to face with Boss Shi.

"Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know how you know about my trip to Jiangcheng?" Boss Shi asked a question that he was most concerned about now.

"Do you think I'm going to tell you?" Meng Zitao gave him an idiot-like look.

"You ......" Boss Shi couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, it was the first time he was treated like this, it was really bearable, which was unbearable, however, in reality, he didn't dare to do it at all, and he was very aggrieved in his heart.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Meng, what do you want?"

"It's not good, if you don't come to me, I'll do something to you. Meng Zitao said that originally, he didn't want to contact Boss Shi, and today it was just a coincidence.

Boss Shi took a deep breath: "Shopkeeper Meng, it's boring to guess, just say what you want." ”

"In these years, why doesn't anyone believe the truth?"

Meng Zitao shook his head, and then said: "Since this is the case, then I said it!"

"Speak. ”

"It's simple, don't bother the mother and son anymore. ”

"Yes, anything else?"

"Do you know Master Meng?"

"Master Meng?" Boss Shi was a little puzzled: "Where is the Master Meng?"

Meng Zitao said: "He has been active in the capital before, and everything in his hands is sold to foreigners. ”

Boss Shi thought of a character: "Oh, you're talking about a fox, right?"

"They're alone?"

"It should be a person, this guy is very timid, and he can run away without a trace when the wind blows, so the people in the circle call him a fox. However, if you want me to find him, you can't do it. Not only me, but also people who have a good relationship with him can't find him. ”

"You write down the people with whom he has a good relationship. Meng Zitao said.

Boss Shi quickly wrote his name, handed it over to Meng Zitao, and made some explanations.

Meng Zitao looked at the list: "Okay, today's matter is like this, I will come to you again in the future, if there is any news of the fierce master, you must notify me as soon as possible." ”

Boss Shi nodded, and then said, "Shopkeeper Meng, I wonder if you can transfer the Damascus knife to me?"

"No, I can't. Meng Zitao directly refused: "I have promised others before, this knife cannot be transferred to you." ”

Boss Shi begged, "Be accommodating, this Damascus knife is really important to me." ”

Meng Zitao saw that Boss Shi's expression actually had a hint of pleading, and he wondered in his heart: "What is an important law?"

"What do you say......" Boss Shi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I provoked a character last month, that person likes Damascus knives, and I want to use it to say goodbye." ”

Meng Zitao looked at Boss Shi, felt that he was not lying, and became even more curious: "Did you provoke it when you went to Jiangcheng?"

Boss Shi smiled bitterly: "Yes, if I knew this, I wouldn't have gone to Jiangcheng." "Mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
