"You always have a standard, don't you?" said the middle-aged man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ji Chenghe said: "Let me give an example, if a piece of porcelain worth 100,000 yuan is worth 100,000 yuan, if there is a slight bump on the edge of the mouth, it will take me at least two or three thousand yuan to repair it, and if it is more difficult to repair, the price may be higher." ”

The man was stunned, looking at his expression, obviously thinking that the price was a little expensive, but he didn't say it, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Old man, can you give me a contact information?"

Ji Chenghe thought for a while and said, "I just returned to Ling City, in this way, you can contact Shopkeeper Meng, and if you need it, you can contact me through him?"

Meng Zitao took out his business card and handed it over.

The middle-aged man took the business card and looked at it, and said politely: "Old man, I'll go back and discuss it with my family, and if they agree, I'll bring the things to you to see." ”

"Yes. Ji Chenghe nodded.

After the middle-aged man left, Meng Zitao and Ji Chenghe walked to the community and made an appointment to meet for a while, and Meng Zitao returned to Xu Jianfang to see if he had anything to do.

Seeing that Xu Jianfang was still asleep, Meng Zitao left a note and went downstairs.

After waiting for a while, Ji Chenghe, who had changed into a Chinese dress, came, and Meng Zitao drove him to the antique street.

Along the way, the two chatted about porcelain repair, and Ji Chenghe was surprised to find that Meng Zitao was actually very good in this regard, and some of them could even inspire him.

Ji Chenghe said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, I have to say, I also have to call you Teacher Meng." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly said, "Don't dare." ”

Ji Chenghe said: "The master is a teacher, I think you are better than me, what does it matter if you are called a teacher? To be honest, depending on your level, it doesn't matter if you don't invite me." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, I usually don't take on porcelain repair work, mainly because I don't have enough time, and I go to other places from time to time, and I don't have time to do it at all." ”

Ji Chenghe said: "Then there is no way, but I think your craft is so wasteful, it's a pity, like ours, especially the old craft of matching, it is completely rare to understand." ”

Meng Zitao said: "This is also something that cannot be helped, even if I am asked to teach me, I don't have much time, and besides, it is very difficult to find a suitable apprentice." ”

Ji Chenghe very much agrees with this: "This is true, just like me, I used to accept two apprentices, they have learned almost, they are not willing to be lonely, to help others repair the old, I don't listen to what I say, I cut off the relationship with them in a fit of anger, and vowed never to accept apprentices in the future." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, you don't have to be like this when you are old, if you meet a good seedling, won't you regret it?"

Ji Chenghe said open-mindedly: "If I really meet a good seedling, I just need to pass on the skills, and it doesn't matter if I don't accept him as an apprentice." If you meet a good seedling in the future, you have to let me know. ”

"That's for sure. Meng Zitao smiled: "But if the seedlings are too good, I will stay myself." ”

Ji Chenghe said: "There is a way that is often found in Maxima, but Bole is not often, you are still young, you will always meet someone you are satisfied with." ”

"It's hard to say, this year is the master looking for an apprentice. ”

"I'm almost seventy years old, are you too embarrassed to rob me?"

Meng Zitao smiled.

While laughing, the car was parked in the parking lot of the antique street, and after getting out of the car, Meng Zitao took Ji Chenghe to his shop.

After walking for a while, Ji Chenghe said with some emotion: "The antique market in our Ling City is still the same, like Yangcheng, even if it is usually deserted, it is much better than here." ”

Meng Zitao just smiled, what Ji Chenghe said was indeed the truth, and he had nothing to say.

Speaking of which, Lingshi is also a city with a very rich cultural heritage, but the antique market is scattered, and the goods in the shops are often low-quality, which is really flattering.

Some shopkeepers use modern technology to counterfeit and sell counterfeits, knowing that they are fake and selling fakes, so that many collectors are deceived and many people who want to collect are discouraged. In the market, I often see a lot of people who have the mentality of picking up leaks, but the result is that their money is "leaked" and picked up.

This is exactly why, knowing that Xi Zhengzhen's Shangguzhai things are more expensive, there are still people who often visit them. And in the entire antique street, there is only Zhengyixuan, Shanggu Zhai and Meng Zitao's Appreciation Pavilion, which can be regarded as an antique shop that can be on the table.

However, Lingshi is also a developed city in the end, rich collectors are not uncommon, good things are not worried, and there is also demand, but because the Lingshi antique market is not very prosperous, they generally go to big cities, such as Shanghai, Jinling or simply buy at auction.

While walking and chatting, the two quickly walked to the door of Zheng Yixuan, only to suddenly hear a quarrel inside.

Meng Zitao turned his head and found that the person who was arguing with Wang Menghan was a man with a board inch and a beer belly, and he was dancing with his hands, looking very excited.

Meng Zitao saw that this person had a hands-on posture, and hurriedly walked in: "What's the matter?"

Wang Menghan said very angrily: "This person is so unreasonable, I told him not to accept his things, and he insisted that I give the reason." ”

Speaking of this, she angrily scolded the man again: "Let me go, I just won't take your things!"

"TMD, if you don't tell me the reason, this matter is not over!" The man saw Meng Zitao intervene, although his tone was still very bad, but at least the movements in his hands were a little restrained.

"Okay, okay, you've just got pregnant, don't be angry. ”

Meng Zitao knew that the pregnant woman had a bad temper and was not easy to be stimulated, so he immediately persuaded a few words, and then said to the man: "Sir, if you have something to say, besides, we are not obliged to tell you why we don't accept your things, right?"

The man learned that Wang Menghan had just become pregnant, and his heart was also excited, in case something bad happened, he would not be able to finish eating and left, so his tone was also softened: "My porcelain is returned from Dongying, and it cost a lot of money at the beginning, she said that she would not accept it, of course I have to ask the reason, otherwise I will think that I have bought a fake." ”

Wang Menghan heard this and glanced at his mouth.

Meng Zitao noticed it, and he also knew it in his heart, and then said: "Boss, this blue and white plum vase is yours, right?"

The man said: "Yes, this Yuan blue and white plum vase, if it weren't for the fact that it was made of domestic green materials, and it was accidentally damaged at the edge of the mouth the year before last, I would have taken it to the auction a long time ago, how would I come here to be angry." ”

"Can I take a look at it first?" Meng Zitao could actually see at a glance that there was something wrong with this bottle, but he was not good at giving conclusions without looking at it, which was too irresponsible.

The man said, "Look. ”

Meng Zitao took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the plum bottle, he was not pretending, he was indeed studying this object.

After a while, Meng Zitao put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said, "To tell you the truth, I won't accept this plum vase." ”

"I just wanted to ask you why?" the man said with a sneer.

Meng Zitao said: "Then I said it directly?"

The man said: "I am also reasonable, if you are right, I will definitely apologize to this lady, but if I am wrong, don't blame me for having to ask for an explanation." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, this is likely to be an imitation of porcelain fired in the eighties." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately laughed: "I said that you are ridiculous enough, in the eighties, it was really funny to be able to imitate such a beautiful Yuan Qinghua." ”

Meng Zitao was not angry, and said: "Of course, there is a basis for what I say, in the early eighties, an old lady found a piece of Yuan blue and white from her house, and finally it was bought by a professor in the porcelain capital. Because the porcelain capital was in a recession at that time, it was imitated according to the Yuan blue and white pieces, and because the imitation was in place, it was bought by an easterner just after the exhibition. ”

Since the success of the imitation of blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty, the kiln fire of the porcelain capital is booming again, the buyers at the beginning are mainly merchants from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Dongying, the price starts from a few hundred yuan, and later the porcelain dealers who operate high imitations heard that their products actually appear in the international auction market as cultural relics, and immediately the price of each imitation from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Later, with the continuous emergence of the sky-high price of blue and white in the international market, art dealers from all over the world have set their sights on the porcelain capital, and have come here with maps to order auction items, and some Hong Kong and Taiwan cultural relics merchants simply bought the kiln factory together, and fired high antique porcelain every year.

Since then, the high-quality imitations led by Yuan Qinghua and Qingguan kilns have begun to embark on the road of high technology. Many kiln factories even do not hesitate to introduce high-tech talents and equipment, and hire high-tech painters, potters and potters with high salaries, and the more they do their work, the more refined they are, the more imitative things become more and more real, and many imitations even run unhindered in the domestic and foreign cultural relics market.

"What I said is well documented, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Internet to find information. ”

Meng Zitao saw that the man was still skeptical, and then said: "Let me tell you another fact, around 2005, a museum in Dongying wanted to hold a ceramic exhibition in China, and sent a highly accomplished Yuan blue and white expert to the porcelain capital, asking to rent a Yuan blue and white plum vase to exhibit in Dongying. ”

"At that time, the experts of the porcelain capital deliberately took out two identical 'Yuan blue and white' plum vases to show the Dongying experts, told him that one of them was a high imitation, and asked him to choose one. As a result, the Dongying expert chose the imitation. ”

As we all know, Britain, the United States, Dongying and other countries have long been ahead of us in the research of our country's Yuan Qinghua. If it is inevitable that the auction house will be deceived by high imitations, as an expert who has a far-reaching history of China's ceramic research, it is an uproar. After the news of this incident came out, it once made the Yuan blue and white lots in the auction market have been labeled with a big question mark.

When the man heard Meng Zitao's words, he also became suspicious in his heart: "That...... Even if what you say is true, if you want to prove that there is a problem with my Yuan Qinghua, it can't be derived from just a few stories of yours, right?"

"That's for sure. Next, Meng Zitao pointed out the problem with the plum vase.

In fact, from the current point of view, this Yuan blue and white high imitation undoubtedly has many problems, and ordinary experts must not be able to deceive, and they can only deceive some beginners.

"This ......" Even if the man didn't believe it anymore and listened to Meng Zitao's explanation, he couldn't refute it, but when he asked him to apologize to Wang Menghan, he couldn't do it, and said: "Who knows if what you said is true or false!"

After speaking, he picked up his plum bottle and turned to leave.

"Hey, what about your apology?" Wang Menghan shouted towards the man's back.

Meng Zitao persuaded: "Okay, you're about to be a mother, don't be too impulsive, if you provoke the other party, it's not you who suffers?"

When Meng Zitao said this, Wang Menghan immediately adjusted his emotions and said: "I don't know why, I always like to lose my temper recently. ”

Meng Zitao said: "I heard that during pregnancy, a woman's mood fluctuates easily, and this should be considered a normal phenomenon for you." I'll take your pulse and see if there's anything wrong with your body. ”

Wang Menghan immediately agreed.

After taking the pulse, Meng Zitao said: "There should be no problem, the main thing is to rely on yourself to regulate your emotions, and try to be as sunny as possible, which is better for the child in the belly." ”

"Okay, I'll try to adjust. ”

After staying in Zhengyixuan for a while, Meng Zitao took Ji Chenghe to his antique shop, first introduced Hu Yuanliang and them, and then discussed cooperation with Ji Chenghe.

In fact, Meng Zitao didn't expect to make money from this, but just wanted to enhance the reputation of some antique shops. Since there were no financial requirements, he was quite happy to negotiate with Ji Chenghe.

"Xiao Yue, you will be responsible for contacting Ji Lao in the future. Meng Zitao said to Zhu Xinyue.

Zhu Xinyue was excited when he heard this, and nodded again and again to say that he would not live up to Meng Zitao's trust.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in outside the door: "Excuse me, is your boss here?"

"I'm the boss here, what's the matter with you?" Meng Zitao asked.

A trace of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's Teacher Meng, this is my business card, and it was Elder Zheng who asked me to send you materials." ”

Meng Zitao took a look, the middle-aged man's name was Ren Junxing, and he was the secretary general of the non-governmental organization for the recovery of cultural relics, and he was specifically responsible for liaison.

"Secretary General, it's really troublesome for you, and you have to make a trip. Meng Zitao said politely.

"I'm just on the way. Ren Junxing said with a smile.

"I wonder what difficulties you have right now?"

"It's just that money is a little tight. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Sponsorship is okay, but I hope to sponsor in the name of the company." ”

Ren Junxing shook his head, "Things are not so simple, if it is sponsored in the name of the company, then there will be more twists and turns in this matter, and only in the name of the individual will work better." I know what you think, but since you want to do some business, you must not be too low-key, the reputation of the company and the reputation of the boss can complement each other."
