Chapter 1004 It's a Big Case Again
When Meng Zitao walked to the door of the antique shop, he saw a young man in his thirties preparing to close the door, and if nothing else, it should be to hide people's eyes, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is this place closed?"
The young man looked at Meng Zitao, and saw that Meng Zitao was dressed more exquisitely, and he had a foreign accent, and a smile appeared on his face: "I don't know what Mr. wants?"
Meng Zitao looked at the store and said, "It depends on what you have here, whether there is anything I like." ”
"That's right, please come in. The young man smiled and made a gesture.
When Meng Zitao walked into the store, he didn't find the man's figure, it seemed that he should be in the back room, but he didn't go over to inspect it, so as not to startle the snake.
Next, Meng Zitao pretended to look at the antiques in the store, where the utensils were mostly miscellaneous, and the porcelain was relatively rare, only a row of cabinets with a few pieces of porcelain.
None of the main miscellaneous things, in his eye, could get into his eyes, and most of them were imitations or fakes.
As for the remaining porcelain, it is either from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, or some crooked melons and cracked dates, which is really not interesting.
So, Meng Zitao spoke: "Boss, it's not me who said, you can't do anything here, and you don't have a few decent porcelain." ”
"Does the gentleman like porcelain?" asked the young man with a smile.
"Of course, now that the porcelain market is so good, of course we have to choose the hot one. Meng Zitao put on a rare and strange look.
The young man smiled: "I have a small colorful bowl here, but the price may be a little expensive......
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "As long as the things are good, the price is fine, but don't try to lie to me, I've been playing this business for several years." ”
Meng Zitao pretended to be an old player, but in the eyes of the young man, he was simply a fledgling hairy guy.
For merchants in the antique industry, people like Meng Zitao are completely lambs to be slaughtered, and they definitely don't let go of the mistakes. So the young man didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "Then you wait a minute, I'll bring the things." ”
After a while, the young man came over with a brocade box, and after opening it, he took out a small bowl from it and put it in front of Meng Zitao.
"Hey, this multicolored bowl is not very bright, it seems to be an early work. Meng Zitao muttered in his mouth, but he was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect to see such a treasure here, and it was perfectly preserved, a little unbelievable.
The young man didn't see Meng Zitao's strange appearance, and the smile on his face was very bright: "Sir, you are right, this colorful small bowl is the work of the official kiln in the Xuande period, you see that it is rich and colorful, the lines are complex but not chaotic, the style is realistic and delicate, and the preservation is so complete, it is quite precious!"
Meng Zitao looked at the small bowl carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, raised his head, and sneered: "I said boss, you are really stupid, you say that it is Xuande Wucai, but you don't even have a sense of style, and you are embarrassed to say so!"
The young man was stunned and said, "Sir, you don't know that some of the official kiln porcelain of the Xuande Dynasty has not been added, right?"
Meng Zitao was stunned, and coughed lightly: "Who said I don't know, it's just that this bowl is so precious, how can it not leave a treasure, so I don't think it is from the Xuande period." If you must think that it is from the Xuande period, then I can only give up, and the things of Xuande are not something I can afford. ”
The young man laughed a few times and said, "It seems that Mr. is interested in this colorful bowl, I wonder how much money you can pay?"
"The thing is yours, how can there be any reason for me to bid first?" Meng Zitao said angrily.
"Oh, I lost my word. The young man said: "My colorful bowl is quite unique and very precious, and I was also ...... at the beginning."
Meng Zitao said impatiently: "Can you not be so verbose, just say how much it costs." ”
"Five hundred thousand. The young man held out his hand and gestured.
Meng Zitao put the small bowl back: "Goodbye!"
"Sir, this is Xuande ......"
"I just said that I can't afford Xuande, let's see you later. ”
After speaking, Meng Zitao turned around and left: "One, two, three...... Isn't he calling me? That's just a little bit of trouble. ”
Just as Meng Zitao walked to the door, the young man called out to him: "Don't hurry to go, the price can be negotiated again." ”
Meng Zitao turned around and said lightly: "Then you can tell me a real price." ”
The young man smiled: "The price is 300,000." ”
"Impossible, 120,000 at most. ”
"Sir, the price is not cut by you like this......"
After some bargaining, the small bowl was finally sold for 180,000 yuan, and both of them were quite satisfied with the price.
"Can I swipe my card here?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Of course. The young man took Meng Zitao's bank card and operated it on the counter.
After paying the money, Meng Zitao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when he didn't buy this small bowl just now, he was looking forward to people coming slowly, and now that he has succeeded, he muttered a little, why hasn't anyone arrived yet.
"Sir, do you want anything more?" asked the young man with a smile.
"What other good things do you have here?" Mencius decided to delay for some time.
"What ...... this?"
At this time, several policemen walked in from outside the door: "Where are the people?"
Meng Zitao pointed to the inner room and said, "It should be inside." ”
The young man was taken aback: "Comrade policeman, what is the matter?"
"Quick, don't let people run away!" Meng Zitao led the people to the back room.
The young man hurriedly shouted, "Hey, what are you doing, there is no one in there......"
Meng Zitao took the lead in entering the inner room, the things in the room were messy, but there was no one to see, which made Meng Zitao feel strange, he had just seen someone come in, why did the kung fu people disappear after a while, is there a secret door?
The young man followed, and shouted angrily, "You are trespassing on people's houses, and I will sue you!"
Meng Zitao ignored him, directly used the ability, and immediately made a discovery, walked to a cabinet, pulled the cabinet out, and it was easily opened, revealing a hole in the ground that could accommodate a person in and out.
"Tell me, where does this cave lead?" Meng Zitao looked at the young man who was already pale at this time.
Seeing that the young man was hesitant, Meng Zitao sneered: "Our policy has always been to be lenient in confession and strict in resistance, and now you say that there is still a chance to make meritorious contributions, it depends on whether you can grasp it or not." I'm telling you, opportunities are fleeting. ”
The young man swallowed nervously and said, "This tunnel leads to the jewelry store across the street, but now it is only half dug up. ”
The police were shocked and rejoiced, this is another big case!
"The person who came in just now must be hiding inside, right?"
"Yes. ”
The next thing will be taken over by the police, so there is no need for Meng Zitao to worry about it. The police not only caught the thief out of the tunnel, but also got the collected items that Pei Lao had lost, none of which were missing, but if it was a day at night, these things would definitely be transported to other places.
After that, Luo Shihao learned about this from Meng Zitao's mouth, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and it was really a little hard to believe: "Even if Tan Shirong is a bastard, he won't do such a thing, right?"
Meng Hongchang also said that it was a little difficult to understand, he had also investigated Tan Shirong before, not to mention that he was a billionaire, but with the collection, he also had assets of twenty or thirty million yuan.
Meng Zitao said: "Could it be because there is something wrong in his family, such as owing others a huge amount of money?" ”
Luo Shihao shook his head with some hesitation: "It shouldn't be, how can his money be lost so easily?"
Meng Hongchang said: "This can be said, just like a boss I met last year, who lost more than 500 million yuan because of gambling this year, and the company took it as collateral." ”
Luo Shihao shook his head: "Tan Shirong's most annoying thing is gambling, and he shouldn't knowingly commit it." ”
"Who can say for sure? Meng Hongchang said.
Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't guess, the reason won't be known for a long time." ”
Luo Shihao nodded, and then said a little depressedly: "Pity the loss of my painting, it seems that I don't want to recover it from him." ”
"The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, and he will definitely pay the price. Meng Zitao could only comfort him like this.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. ”
Luo Shihao sighed, and at this time, he noticed the things in Meng Zitao's hand and asked, "What is in your hand?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "A small bowl I bought just now." ”
"I won't miss it again. Meng Hongchang's first reaction was like this.
Meng Zitao smiled: "Who called me lucky." ”
"What is it, can it open my eyes?" Luo Shihao was intrigued.
Meng Zitao looked around: "It's a little inconvenient here. ”
"Again, I'll wait until my friend gets to me. ”
"Okay. ”
Next, everyone continued their previous trip, and after a while, they arrived at Luo Shihao's friend's side.
Luo Shihao's friend is about the same age as him, wearing an old cloth shirt, after listening to Luo Shihao's introduction, he shook hands with Meng Zitao quite warmly: "Teacher Meng can come to the shop, it is really splendid!"
"Shopkeeper Xu is polite!" Meng Zitao said modestly.
Xu Jinglin invited everyone to the reception room, asked the guy to serve tea to everyone, and said to Meng Zitao with a smile: "Teacher Meng, I don't know if you have heard Lao Luo mention that I love calligraphy, and I have a lot of respect for you, I don't know if you can please leave me a word for a while?"
"I said Lao Xu, you don't have to be so anxious. Luo Shihao said with a smile.
"You know, after this village, there is no such shop. Xu Jinglin didn't feel anything to be ashamed of.
"Haha, it's nothing, it's just a gesture. Meng Zitao smiled and said it didn't matter.
When Xu Jinglin heard this, he looked quite excited, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
