Chapter 40 Exchange Meeting

PS: I wish you all a happy New Year's Day and all the best in 2016!

"It's careless!

Lu Wenwei grabbed the seal box tightly with both hands, leaned back on the sofa a little dejectedly, let out a long sigh in his mouth, and muttered: "Why did I only look at the workmanship and pulp at the beginning, and I didn't even see such obvious flaws!"

Mencius Tao said in his heart, this is called a man has a stumble, and a horse has a hoof.

Generally speaking, even if the real product is well maintained, hundreds or thousands of years of air oxidation and sweat and other substances will still leave a layer of pulp on the surface.

And now the falsification, generally made of oxalic acid slurry, this kind of slurry tentacles are smooth and impetuous, without the natural feeling of the real thing, and even under the magnifying glass you can see bright red paint.

So, for an experienced expert, patent leather feels absolutely different, no matter how clever the technique of worn-out a piece of red remover.

But Lu Wenwei's printing box is not made of oxalic acid, and oxalic acid can't make such a realistic effect.

If Meng Zitao had not made a mistake in judgment, the counterfeiter should have used things such as slurry, literary oil, and trick liquid. Although it takes time to use this kind of thing, the pulp made is natural and more difficult to detect, not to mention ordinary people, even experts may be blind if they are not careful.

The pulp is realistic, coupled with the high workmanship, and with Lu Wenwei's performance, Meng Zitao estimated that he probably bought it from an acquaintance, and it was normal to be distracted.

Of course, this is Meng Zitao's idea, for Lu Wenwei, it is difficult for him to accept that he has made such a mistake, and he is quite embarrassed for a while.

After being stunned for a while, Lu Wenwei suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up from the couch and ran to the back room. Meng Zitao guessed that there should be something to buy together, but I don't know what the result was.

After a while, Lu Wenwei walked back with a black face, and the result was self-evident, he pressed the bad mood in his heart, and said to Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, the price of this seal embryo should be about 190,000, and I will give you another 30,000, how about it?"

Meng Zitao originally wanted to be polite, but as far as Lu Wenwei looked, when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back and nodded in agreement.

Lu Wenwei paid the money, Meng Zitao took his leave, originally, if it was someone else, he still wanted to persuade a few words, but Lu Wenwei's character, he didn't know how to say, and finally said a few words that were not nutritious, and he left.

Walking out of the villa, Meng Zitao sighed with emotion, there are too many crooks in the antique industry, and many of them put a long line to catch big fish. Just like Lu Wenwei this time, he felt that it must be a liar who won Lu Wenwei's trust, and then found an opportunity to sell the high-imitation things again and tricked Lu Wenwei.

This incident also made Meng Zitao vigilant, a master like Lu Wenwei has been deceived, and he should be more cautious, even if he has special abilities, in case of carelessness, it is not impossible to be fooled.

Meng Zitao walked out of the gate of the community, and was about to take a taxi to the antique street, when he got into the taxi, he suddenly saw that not far away, the boy named Song Yiming and his cousin walked into the community.

"Hey, they also live in this neighborhood?"

Meng Zitao was a little surprised, but judging from the words and deeds of the two, it was normal to live here. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't think about it anymore.

…………

Saturday, September 12th, light rain.

In the morning, Meng Zitao said hello to his parents and took a taxi to Qingfeng Teahouse, which is located near the antique street.

During this time, Meng Zitao lived a very comfortable life, every day he was either at home, or went to the antique market to take a walk, pick up a small leak, drink tea, and contact friends.

In a word, there is money and leisure, and life is boundless. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to become strong as soon as possible, he really wanted to stay at home all the time, practice boxing, and read books.

When he arrived at the Qingfeng Teahouse, Meng Zitao saw Cheng Qiheng and Wang Menghan standing in front of the teahouse.

Looking at the tender and sweet pair in front of him, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I said Brother Cheng, you called me over yesterday, you didn't plan to let me be a light bulb, right?"

Cheng Qiheng grinned and said, "I wanted you to be a light bulb, but my Menghan just didn't agree." ”

"What are you talking about!" Wang Menghan twisted lightly on Cheng Qiheng's waist.

Cheng Qiheng turned his head and kissed Wang Menghan lightly: "Just kidding with Zitao." ”

Meng Zitao said speechlessly: "If you have something to say, don't show affection in front of me, a lonely person, otherwise I will leave." ”

Cheng Qiheng smiled: "Okay, if you have the ability, you can go back, but I told you not to regret going back!"

When Meng Zitao heard this, he suddenly asked: "By the way, Brother Cheng, when we drank last summer, you told me something, I seem to have forgotten a little." ”

Cheng Qiheng was stunned and said, "Who remembers what happened last year." ”

Meng Zitao asked again, "Didn't you say that you were quite impressed?"

Cheng Qiheng waved his hand: "What you said can be taken seriously, okay, it's not too early, let's go quickly." ”

As he spoke, he took Wang Menghan's hand and walked towards the parking place.

A hint of doubt flashed in Wang Menghan's eyes: "Hey, how do I feel that you have something to say?

Cheng Qiheng smiled bitterly: "Didn't I explain to you about the previous things, how could there be something to hide from you?"

"Really?"

"It's true, I don't believe you asked Zitao. ”

"You really don't have anything to do with Menghan"

Meng Zitao nodded solemnly, and laughed in his heart, Sample, fight with me.

In fact, what Cheng Qiheng told him at the beginning was not a big deal, it was nothing more than that he chased his girlfriend in high school and college. This kind of thing has nothing to do with others saying it, and when you mention it to Wang Menghan, Cheng Qiheng will inevitably have to suffer some hardships.

Of course, everyone is joking, and Meng Zitao will not really say the matter.

In the car, Cheng Qiheng told Meng Zitao about today's events, and the matter was simple, that is, to participate in an antique exchange meeting together.

It is said that it is an exchange meeting, but it is actually a small auction, and there will be some auctions on some lots that may have some problems with their origins, but unlike the antique black market, which is generally not a big problem. In Cheng Qiheng's words, since he knew that there was such an exchange meeting, there had never been an accident.

Of course, if Meng Zitao felt that it was dangerous, it didn't matter if he didn't want to participate.

Of course, Meng Zitao can't be so stupid, he will refuse Cheng Qiheng's invitation, besides, he has heard about this kind of exchange meeting by chance before, and if you want to participate, you must have an introduction.

To be honest, since Meng Zitao knew that there was such an exchange meeting, he had always wanted to see it, but this was not possible for him before, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity today, which made him very excited

But after being happy, he thought of another question: "I said Brother Cheng, I heard that the exchange meeting seems to be in cash, if you don't tell me earlier, I'd better go and get some in advance." ”

Cheng Qiheng said: "It's okay, I brought 200,000 today, and I will share 100,000 with you later." Although this exchange will look safe, it is better to buy something for a smaller amount. ”

Meng Zitao thinks this is a good point, he is not afraid of 10,000 these years, just in case. Besides, people like them who have no background and bring more money are easy to be targeted.

Cheng Qiheng drove to a gas station on the outskirts of the city, and a simple-looking young man came up.

Of course, a nickname is a nickname, judging from the shrewdness that flashed in the eyes of the second stunned man, he was not really stunned.

After getting into the car, Cheng Qiheng asked, "Erstunned, where are we going today?"

The second stunned man smiled, and pointed with his hand: "Cheng Shao, you just follow this road and drive straight, and when you get to the place, I will tell you." ”

Cheng Qiheng has also participated in this kind of exchange meeting a few times, as long as he does what the second stunned man instructs, after the car started, he asked again: "Second stunned, are there any good goods today?"

This time, the second stunned man was not ambiguous, and said: "I heard that there is a ding." ”

"What, you even took out the ding?" Cheng Qiheng's voice suddenly became higher.

The second stunned man smiled and said: "Cheng Shao, don't worry, it's not Bronze Ding, we won't do that kind of head-losing thing." Besides, even if it's a bronze tripod, it depends on the age, doesn't it?"

Cheng Qiheng suddenly relieved, if it was bronze, he would really retreat in his heart, it was not that he was cowardly, but that this thing was very strict now, and he didn't want to take this risk.

"What kind of tripod is that?"

The second stunned said: "It seems to be the cloisonné enamel of the Qianlong period, and I don't know too much about the specifics." ”

Cheng Qiheng's eyes lit up: "Copper tire cloisonné enamel? That's a good thing." ”

Copper cloisonné enamel is what everyone often calls cloisonné, which has entered the domestic and foreign art market a long time ago with its vigorous and heavy, simple and elegant attitude, and is quite popular with people, and the price is certainly not affordable by ordinary people.

The cloisonné made in the form of a tripod is from the Qianlong period, and it is likely to be the finale, so it goes without saying that it must be a treasure. Even if Meng Zitao is very hot-eyed, it is estimated that they can't afford it, but it's good to see it.

Under the guidance of the stunned man, Cheng Qiheng walked around several main roads in Lingshi for a few rounds, and then stopped in the parking lot of a hotel.

After getting out of the car, Meng Zitao was a little speechless, because this was a very famous star-rated hotel in Ling City, and it was only ten minutes' drive from the previous gas station. Now, it took them three or four times as long to arrive, and they were really speechless.

The second stunned took everyone to a large conference room on the third floor, only to see that there were many surveillances around, basically no dead ends, and in the main position, there were uniformed staff, which could be described as heavily guarded.
