Meng Hongchang thought about it for two days before giving Meng Zitao a reply that he was willing to join the auction company.

This made Meng Zitao very happy, in fact, he didn't want to install people in the auction company, and he didn't think about this matter originally, but Zhang Jingqiang took the initiative to bring it up.

The reason why Zhang Jingqiang took the initiative to mention this matter was based on the reason that he was a brother and settled accounts. In this world, there are many friends whose friendships are "planted" on this point, not to mention friends, even if they are close relatives, there are many people who fall out because of money.

Because of this, Zhang Jingqiang strongly demanded that Meng Zitao and they had better send someone who knew the roots to work in the auction company.

It just so happened that Meng Hongchang came back from the capital and was unwilling to engage in his previous work, so Meng Zitao had this idea.

Of course, Meng Zitao decided this way because he was engaged in this industry and could be Meng Hongchang's leader, and if Meng Hongchang had something to solve, he would be easy to help.

Since Meng Hongchang agreed, Meng Zitao took him to Zhang Jingqiang's company.

When Meng Zitao said what he meant, Meng Hongchang said politely: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I haven't learned about antiques before, please bear with me." ”

Zhang Jingqiang said with a smile: "No one can start, you have both Brother Meng, a good teacher, and a top student, I believe you will definitely make a difference in our company." ”

Meng Hongchang said in disgrace: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Zhang Jingqiang laughed: "I just like your attitude, besides, since you are Brother Meng's brother." Then don't be too outward, I'll take care of it. Just call me Brother Zhang. ”

"Mr. Zhang, I will definitely not see outside. Meng Hongchang said with a smile.

"Naw. Since you don't see the outside, why do you still say that?" Zhang Jingqiang said pretending to be displeased.

Meng Hongchang smiled: "After all, this is a company. ”

Zhang Jingqiang looked at Meng Hongchang for a while, and then laughed again.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Jingqiang stood up and said to Meng Zitao: "You came just in time today, let's go to the newly built vault to have a look." ”

"So fast?" Meng Zitao said in surprise.

Zhang Jingqiang smiled and said, "What's so fast, these years, as long as you have money, it's a normal thing." Basically, it won't take long to get it done for you. And not only was the vault built, but there were already some collections in it. ”

Seeing Meng Zitao's surprised appearance, he smiled and said, "Of course, it's just some relatively ordinary collections, as for those fine products or treasures, it's not so easy to get." As a shareholder of the company, you have to worry about this. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then it needs to be said." ”

Everyone walked out of the office and walked to the vault under the leadership of Zhang Jingqiang.

When you are about to walk to the vault. Zhang Jingqiang introduced to everyone: "The vault is the important place of our company, don't look at us today, we haven't gone through many inspections, but because it was installed yesterday, so the temporary management is not so strict." When it's done, even I can't just go in. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Brother Zhang, you do something. I'm relieved. ”

Zhang Jingqiang said: "There are still a few palm eye masters I invited there today, let's get to know each other later." That's right. I've given you a position as a director in the company. ”

Meng Zitao was stunned and said with a smile: "It's not that you don't know my age. Put me in this position, you want to roast me on the fire!

Zhang Jingqiang said with a smile: "There is a way that talents are not only age, and I believe that you will definitely be able to suppress them." Besides, I'm sure you're not the kind of person who flinchs easily, right? ”

Meng Zitao said: "Yes, you have said it like this, if I really run away, I will have no face to see people." ”

Talking and laughing, everyone came to the vault, although the company is not on the right track, but the security measures on the vault side have been quite strict, even if Zhang Jingqiang is the big boss of the company, the inspection is extremely strict.

After the inspection, everyone walked into the vault, in fact, if you really want to say, there is nothing mysterious here, just a room, in which there are some single safes for placing valuable antiques, and other places are neatly placed Bogu shelves, which are placed in different categories.

At this time, in addition to a few staff members who were carefully tidying up in the room, there was also a middle-aged man and two old men, as soon as they looked at their dress and temperament, Meng Zitao knew that these three should be from the industry, that is, the palm master who Zhang Jingqiang said invited.

Moreover, the middle-aged man and one of the old men, Meng Zitao also met at the exchange meeting a few days ago, the middle-aged man is named Qingqiang, a well-known local bronze and numismatic expert, and the other old man is named Kong Yuedong, a well-known local miscellaneous expert, who is particularly good at all kinds of carving works.

As for the remaining old man, he looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and a burly appearance. This person Meng Zitao had not seen before, and he should not be a person from the Lingshi Antique Garden. However, judging from the level of respect that Qingqiang and Kong Yuedong have for him, he must not be a nameless person.

Seeing Meng Zitao and them coming in, the old man came over with Qingqiang and Kong Yuedong.

Zhang Jingqiang first introduced the two sides, and Meng Zitao knew that this old man was a very famous porcelain identification expert in Jinling, Liu Baoyuan, no wonder Qingqiang would be so polite to him.

Liu Baoyuan shook hands with Meng Zitao with a smile, and then said: "Director Meng, I like to have one thing to say, to be honest, as the director of the company, as far as I am concerned, I will definitely not be at ease." ”

"It's coming. Meng Zitao originally had such preparations in his heart, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so direct so soon. However, he himself does not like to procrastinate, and it is good for everyone to solve problems as soon as possible.

So, he made a small move towards Zhang Jingqiang, let Zhang Jingqiang calm down for a while, and said to Liu Baoyuan with a smile:

"Elder Liu, I think it's normal for you to think, if it were me, I would feel uncomfortable when I was pressed by a young man. However, if there is a problem, we have to find a solution, what do you think will reassure you?"

Liu Baoyuan smiled slightly: "In this way, let's make a simple bet." ”

"What do you want to bet on?" Meng Zitao asked.

Liu Baoyuan said: "Just bet on the porcelain, and trouble Mr. Zhang to prepare some porcelain tiles with half of the real and fake, and whoever identifies more genuine products will win." Of course, I'm a few years older, and I heard that your main research is cultural games, I don't take advantage of you, let you have three pieces, if so, we are still a draw, and I will lose!"

Meng Zitao waved his hand and said: "Old Liu, this is not fair to you, I don't need you to let me have three pieces, as long as there is a draw or above, even if I win, how about it?"

"This is what you said!" Liu Baoyuan's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Meng Zitao smiled faintly.

Liu Baoyuan said: "Okay! Since it is a gambling game, then I also have to say something, if I lose, then this jade pig dragon will be transferred to you." ”

"Jade Pig Dragon?!" everyone was shocked when they heard this.

This jade pig dragon is a typical jade of the Hongshan culture, and its pig head and snake body are believed to be a combination of pig and snake. The body of the jade piglosaurus is fat and curled up into a C-shape. Some mouths are connected to tails, and some mouths and tails are disconnected, and some people call them "beast-shaped Jue" in the Republic of China. It is one of the earliest known dragon-shaped artifacts and is therefore considered to be the earliest prototype of a dragon.

The purpose of the jade pig dragon is whether it is a ornament or totem or family emblem, and there are different opinions. Later, through relevant excavation research, it was inferred that the jade pig dragon and jade turtle placed on the priest's chest or held in his hand should be the props used by the priest to communicate with the gods during his lifetime.

It is precisely because the jade pig dragon is a medium of communication between people and gods, and the scope of application is limited to the exclusive use of priests, and the Hongshan culture has been five or six thousand years ago, under the vicissitudes of life, resulting in the number of jade pig dragons in existence is very rare and valuable.

Liu Baoyuan took out a piece of jade from his pocket, put it on the museum shelf next to him, and said: "This is what I got five years ago for more than 400,000 yuan, and I have always carried it with me, if you win, I will transfer it to you at the original price." ”

The jade quality of the pig-headed dragon is blue-yellow, most of the body is covered with brown, the shape is thick, the body is curled, and the end is connected. His face is realistically carved and his demeanor is blazing. The eyes and pig kisses are carved by the method of subtracting the ground and convexity, the ears are warped, the ear edge is blade-shaped, and the back is worn by a series, and the shape is a representative work of jade carving of Hongshan culture.

Seeing everyone staring at the jade pig dragon, Liu Baoyuan was not without pride, he smiled and said: "You can watch things for a while, I don't know what Director Meng thinks?"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "It must be the current market price, otherwise I won't agree." ”

The current gambling fight is different from the gambling fight with Lu Changdai, you can go to the death, and he must have a big belly if he is reasonable.

Liu Baoyuan smiled: "Okay, since you have no opinion, then it's decided, please ask Mr. Zhang to prepare, but don't do some eye-catching goods." ”

Seeing that Meng Zitao gave him a reassuring look, Zhang Jingqiang smiled: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to be in this circle." ”

After speaking, he went to call Wang Zhixuan and asked Wang Zhixuan to help prepare the porcelain pieces, as for whether Wang Zhixuan would help Meng Zitao cheat, based on Wang Zhixuan's comments and understanding, he was not worried at all. Moreover, he really hoped that Wang Zhixuan could help, so as not to lose, and his and Meng Zitao's faces were not good-looking.

When Zhang Jingqiang called, Meng Zitao appreciated the jade pig dragon and found that whether it was from the five aspects of jade, carving, shape, ornamentation, and color, there was no problem at all, and it was indeed a genuine product that opened the door to the generation.

Moreover, because Liu Baoyuan often plays with it, the pulp on the surface of the jade is gratifying, which makes Meng Zitao quite fond of it, and the value must be at least about two million. (To be continued.) )
