Meng Hongchang had to agree with a wry smile, thought about it, and said, "Then you can lend me 300,000 yuan, and I will do the rest myself." "Le" Wen "Xiao" said|"

Meng Zitao asked, "Is this money enough?"

Meng Hongchang said: "Of course it's enough, if Xiaoyun didn't want to open a store, there wouldn't be so much." ”

Meng Zitao was surprised: "Xiaoyun has also decided to open a store?

Meng Hongchang smiled proudly: "Of course, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." ”

"You're fast enough. ”

Meng Zitao shook his head and smiled, and then he reacted again: "In this case, what are you worried about?"

Meng Hongchang was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this not enough money?"

Meng Zitao was a little angry when he heard this: "I don't know how to say you, if I didn't ask you, how long would you have to hide it from me?"

Meng Hongchang laughed dryly: "Didn't I want to figure it out by myself?"

"I'm too lazy to talk about you!" Meng Zitao knew Meng Hongchang's character, he was more strong and good-looking, if it wasn't for the helplessness, Meng Hongchang wouldn't even come to work in the auction house.

"However, I'm very curious, what kind of solution do you want to solve the problem of money, don't tell me that you want to rely on leakage!"

Meng Hongchang vigorously denied it: "That's definitely impossible." ”

Having said that, Meng Zitao saw Meng Hongchang's somewhat embarrassed expression, and still blurted out: "I'll go, you don't really want to make money by picking up leaks, right?"

Meng Hongchang hurriedly waved his hand: "I had such an idea, but I never planned to implement it. ”

Meng Zitao also knew him well, and sneered: "I see that you don't just have an idea, if I hadn't asked today, you might have done it one day, right?"

Speaking of this, his expression became stern: "Picking up leaks is something that every collector dreams of, but the truth is. Just thinking about picking up leaks, without the corresponding eyesight, must be sending money to the seller. And some people in this industry like to engage in crooked ways. If you just try to pick up the leak, you will definitely step on a landmine. You don't want to encounter what happened in Jinling that day again, right?"

Meng Hongchang also said solemnly: "Xiao Tao, don't worry, I'm not stupid, I know that the greater the benefit, the greater the risk, besides, even if I have the ability in the future, I will focus on interest." ”

"If only you could understand. Meng Zitao nodded.

Meng Hongchang smiled: "Speaking of which." Your kid's personality has changed a lot now. ”

"That's, after all, I'm the boss, of course it's different. Meng Zitao made a joke and said in his heart: "From last year to now, I have encountered so many things, and it is strange that my personality has not changed." ”

The brothers made a few jokes, and Meng Zitao transferred the money to Meng Hongchang, and then prepared to leave.

Meng Zitao called the army, and when he was about to walk out of the door, he felt someone rushing towards him next to him. He hurriedly ducked to the side. When I turned my head, I saw an old man in his fifties walking out of the door of the company with an angry face.

The old man scolded as he walked. What do you say that you don't know the goods, you don't have the spirit of contract, and so on.

Meng Zitao said to the old man that there was no spirit of contract, and felt a little strange, and then he was a little surprised, could this old man be the brother of a middle-aged woman, money like rain.

Walking to the elevator, Meng Zitao took a look at the old man's appearance and found that he was really similar to a middle-aged woman. It is estimated that the money is raining.

Qian Ruyu noticed Meng Zitao's gaze, so he glared back: "What to see!"

Meng Zitao was speechless. It's really not a family, don't enter a door. My sister is that virtue, and my brother looks similar.

Qian Ruyu saw that Meng Zitao ignored him, and said very unhappily: "It's really inexplicable. ”

At this time, the elevator door opened, and everyone walked into the elevator together, and pressed the floor where they wanted to enter.

As soon as the elevator was halfway down, there was a sudden "cluck" loud noise, and it actually went on strike, which made everyone not react, and Qian Ruyu screamed in fright, like a gecko clinging to the elevator wall.

Fortunately, the lights went out for a while, and they turned on again immediately, otherwise he would have to faint with his rain.

Seeing that the elevator was completely silent, Meng Zitao was very speechless, he knew more about this building, and he had never had any elevator accidents, but he was actually encountered by himself today, what is this called?

Dajun walked over and rang the distress bell a few times in succession, and said, "I hope we are lucky, and the people outside can find out that the elevator is broken in time." ”

Qian Ruyu, who was on the other side, heard this, and the whole person collapsed a little: "Why am I so unlucky, when I encounter this kind of thing, I don't want to die here, I'm only fifty-three!"

When ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, it is certain that they are flustered, but like Qian Ruyu, Meng Zitao felt that it was a little too much, and he said: "Mr. Qian, don't worry, this elevator is the main up and down passage in the building, and someone should come to deal with it soon." ”

"Bodhisattva bless them, come quickly!"

Qian Ruyu prayed very nervously, and then he began to scold: "It's all the auction company, and the agreement has already been signed, and they actually asked me to come over and get the things back, it's just a bastard, if I have any three longs and two shorts today, I will definitely not let them go!"

Speaking of this, he noticed Meng Zitao with an indifferent expression next to him, and thinking of what Meng Zitao called him just now, he suddenly reacted: "How do you know that my surname is Qian? You are from that company, right?"

"Yes. ”

Meng Zitao generously admitted it, and then said: "Mr. Qian, I believe that you should know the reason for our company's cancellation of the agreement, right?"

Qian Ruyu said angrily: "Yes, I admit that I didn't say anything about my sister, but the thing is mine, that is unmistakable." Besides, even if I had done something wrong before, I brought two more things this time, and my mother's will, so why didn't I be allowed to participate in the auction?"

"I guess the things you brought aren't worth much, right?" Meng Zitao thought, and used his ability on a bag that Qian Ruyu held in his hand.

"How is it, you can't speak, right?" Qian Ruyu sneered.

Meng Zitao said: "I was not here just now, and I can't tell what the reason is, can you show me something?"

Qian Ruyu actually wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to go back empty-handed. Second, if I didn't do something here, I couldn't help but think about it, so I agreed.

Three boxes were taken out of the bag. Qian Ruyu said: "Look at it. ”

Meng Zitao opened a box first, only to see a silver plate inside. The main body is decorated with gilded goose flower branches and folded branches and grass patterns, and the bottom of the plate is engraved with extremely fine ground patterns, and the edges are rolled outward, and eight out of the sunflower mouth, which is very exquisite.

Meng Zitao observed and found that this silver plate should be made of a silver hammer, which refers to the use of gold and silver to make use of the soft and malleable characteristics of gold and silver, and use a hammer to hit gold and silver nuggets. It is extended and unfolded into sheets, and then shaped into various shapes and ornaments as required.

From the style point of view, this plate has a typical northern nomadic style, it should be a work of the Song and Liao periods, and it is okay, but the market price is only twenty or thirty thousand, and of course there will be no shortage of things at this price.

Seeing Meng Zitao put the silver plate back, Qian Ruyu said, "How about it, this plate is good, right? Why don't you want to, don't you just let that mother-in-law make a fuss, is it such a big company of yours. Still afraid of her?"

Meng Zitao smiled and didn't answer, and said in his heart: "Open the door to do business, who likes someone to come to the door to make trouble, besides, the key point in this matter is that you didn't make things clear." ”

Seeing that Meng Zitao didn't care about himself again, Qian Ruyu felt very bored, and at the same time a little annoyed, and put the box back. The impulse not to show Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao opened the second box, and there was a pen holder inside. This pen holder is nearly 18 centimeters high, and the pulp is thick and warm. The material is huge, the outer wall is high relief Panasonic Gaoshi figure, the mountain wall is suddenly rugged, and the pine is strong and powerful. There is also a coat of laughter and laughter, and the boy next to him serves diligently, and the artistic conception is elegant.

In addition, on one side of the pen holder, there is also a "Jiang Chunbo" inscription, and engraved with the year.

Jiang Chunbo here should refer to an important agarwood sculptor in the late Ming Dynasty. Hesitation his superb craftsmanship was highly appreciated by Zhu Zhishan Tang Ziwei and Wen Hengshan father and son.

Qian Ruyu suddenly interjected: "This pen holder is amazing, it is made of agarwood wood." ”

Meng Zitao looked at Qian Ruyu with a smile and said: "Judging from the meticulousness of the carving of the scenery around the pen holder, it is rich in layers, delicate and plump, even red sandalwood is difficult to achieve such a fine Cheng dù, do you think this is what agarwood can achieve?"

Generally speaking, most of the agarwood works are rough carving styles, because as the carved agarwood materials, most of them belong to the raw wood category, and they are raw wood incense with a low degree of incense. Due to the soft nature of the raw wood incense material, it is not allowed to be carved in detail.

Therefore, according to the understanding of ordinary people, it is obviously unlikely that agarwood can reach the level of fine carving, let alone surpass the red sandalwood.

Qian Ruyu smiled dryly: "Maybe it's because the agarwood used is unusual?"

Meng Zitao smiled and asked, "Do you believe it?"

With that, he put the pen holder back in the box, and then opened the last box, only to see two bronze medals inside.

Meng Zitao took the "bronze medal" in his hand, which was narrow and rectangular, and the front was printed with the five-character regular script of "Lin'an Mansion Xingyong", and the back inscription was "quasi-five hundred Wen Province", and the quality was very good.

After thinking about it for a while, four words flashed in his memory: "Copper Plate Money"

The so-called copper coin is a kind of ornament that fell on the belt in ancient times, and this copper coin is called a silver coin because it is rectangular and resembles a pen. It was cast by Lin'an Mansion at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was stipulated that it could only be used in Lin'an Mansion.

In the above words, "quasi" is the meaning of "equivalent to", and "province" is "province mo". "Provincial Mo" is the financial circulation system that has been used since the fifth generation, and the Song Dynasty followed its method, 770 Wen is consistent money, and 77 Wen is counted as one hundred, so "quasi-300 Wen Province", that is, this coin is equivalent to 231 Wen copper coins.

In fact, the reason why there is this kind of "copper brand money" is because the imperial court was in internal and external difficulties at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the finances were stretched, so it began to mint all kinds of coins on a large scale, which could not only respond to the emptiness of the treasury caused by frequent wars, but also effectively prevent copper coins from flowing into Jinmeng.

However, the coin was only in circulation for less than five years, and was quickly rejected by merchants because of the government's looting of people's fat. Because it has not been used for a long time, it is also a local currency. It is still relatively rare, and the two bronze brand coins are also in good condition, which should be worth nearly 10,000 or so.

Qian Ruyu said with a smile: "How is it." I'm good at all three, aren't they?"

Seeing Meng Zitao nodded, Qian Ruyu then asked, "Do you want it?"

"You mean sell it to me?" Meng Zitao asked.

Qian Ruyu said: "Yes." Since they don't want it, I won't auction it, how about it, do you want it?"

Meng Zitao pretended to be silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, you can tell me a price." ”

"Two hundred thousand. As he spoke, Qian Ruyu also gestured with his two index fingers.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Didn't you still say that this cylinder was carved with agarwood?"

Qian Ruyu was a little embarrassed, and then said angrily: "Why are you so verbose." Like a?"

Meng Zitao didn't care, and said with a smile: "I want something, but 100,000 is definitely impossible." ”

"Then you name the price. ”

"Thirty thousand. ”

Qian Ruyu smiled coldly: "I kind of understand, you people in the auction company all have a black heart, who can't I sell it to at your price?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You ask for a price all over the sky, I will pay back the money when I land, you give a real price, if it is suitable." I'm going to do it. ”

"A minimum of 120,000. ”

"Forty thousand!"

"One hundred thousand!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"Ninety thousand!"

“……”

"Sixty-six thousand!"

"That's a good number, that's the price. Meng Zitao smiled: "Do you want to transfer money or cash?"

Qian Ruyu said: "Turn ...... Oh, and it's certainly better to have cash. ”

Meng Zitao looked at him suspiciously. said, "I said, are you sure there is no dispute over these three things?"

"Of course, you see I brought the will. As he spoke, Qian Ruyu took out a copy of the text from his pocket.

Meng Zitao took a look and found that the will had been notarized, and after careful inspection, it should be authentic.

Qian Ruyu said: "How is it, right?"

Meng Zitao asked, "In that case, why does your sister still come to make trouble?"

Qian Ruyu said angrily: "That mother-in-law is simply unreasonable. I actually said that this will was fake, and I asked her to go to the notary office to check. She actually said that the notary was also bought by me, if it weren't for me, I still have some conscience. I'm sure I'm suing her for defamation. ”

There is a saying that it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and Meng Zitao did not express an opinion on this, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still drafted an agreement, and both parties signed it.

Qian Ruyu returned the pen to Meng Zitao and said dissatisfiedly: "You are young and young, and you have a lot of eyes, is it possible that I can still slander you?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "So as not to trouble everyone." ”

As he spoke, he took out seven stacks of hundred-yuan bills from his bag, counted out four thousand, and handed the rest to Qian Ruyu.

"Alright, exactly. "Money is like rain, counting the money, and the mood seems to be very good.

At this time, the elevator "clicked" again and began to run.

While Qian Ruyu was happy, she couldn't help muttering: "Hey, this thing is really weird, is it possible that you don't want me to bring things back?"

When the elevator breaks down, it just deals with the floors, and when it comes to the next floor, the elevator opens with a "ding" sound.

Zhang Jingqiang, Meng Hongchang and others all stood outside the door with anxious faces, and when they saw that Meng Zitao was safe and sound, the tense strings in their hearts were relaxed.

Then, Zhang Jingqiang scolded the property management staff of the building, and the other party did not dare to say anything more.

Meng Zitao stepped out of the elevator and smiled: "I said you don't have to be so nervous, didn't the army talk to you on the phone just now?"

Zhang Jingqiang said: "You said it easily, I heard that there was a problem with the elevator you were taking, and my heart was about to jump out." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Isn't this a complete outright?"

"Thankfully, it's fine. ”

Zhang Jingqiang sighed with emotion, not to mention the friendship between the two, Meng Zitao was called over by him, although it was an accident, if something really happened, he would definitely be unhappy in his heart, not to mention, he just owed Meng Zitao some money.

At this time, Qian Ruyu next to him was dissatisfied: "I said, do you have me in your eyes?"

The property hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Qian Ruyu and expressed their indebtedness.

Meng Zitao introduced Zhang Jingqiang: "This is Qian Ruyu, Mr. Qian. ”

Zhang Jingqiang recalled: "Is that the shrew's brother just now? ”

Qian Ruyu said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say, if you didn't call me over." Can this happen?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "At least your collection has also been disposed of." ”

Speaking of the collection, Qian Ruyu realized that the money was still in the bag in his hand. So many people are around, in case you see a difference in wealth. Then you're in danger.

Thinking of this, Qian Ruyu didn't say a word to everyone, hugged the bag in his arms, and left quickly.

Zhang Jingqiang was a little confused: "What's the matter with this guy, so inexplicable?"

Due to the large number of people at the scene, Meng Zitao did not say much.

It was almost time to eat, Zhang Jingqiang mentioned that he would eat together and then go back, of course Meng Zitao would not object. With Meng Hongchang's army and Zhang Jingqiang's secretary, the group of four came to a well-known nearby hotel and asked for a private room.

After ordering the food, Zhang Jingqiang said a little strangely: "It stands to reason that if the people in the company follow my wishes, the things that make money like rain should be some things that are not very good, right?

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Since the things he brought can be auctioned, of course they won't be very ordinary, so what's so strange about me buying them?"

Zhang Jingqiang said: "What about the remaining two? If he had commissioned three. I don't think I will push him away, these two should have been brought by him today, right?"

Meng Zitao nodded: "Yes, he brought it today." ”

Zhang Jingqiang immediately said: "Let me guess." These two things should not look very good, or there are things that are suspected to be fakes, and the people in the company didn't see it, and you picked them up. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Why are you so sure?"

Zhang Jingqiang pointed at Meng Zitao and said: "When I saw your smile, I knew that it must be like this, Hongchang, did you say?"

Meng Hongchang smiled and nodded yes.

Zhang Jingqiang smiled: "How about it, why don't you recruit it from the real soon?"

Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I did miss it. ”

Meng Hongchang smiled: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly take out the baby and give it to us to enjoy." ”

"Okay. Meng Zitao took out the box containing the pen holder and opened it.

Zhang Jingqiang took a look at the carving of this pen holder. His eyes were a little hot, and he quickly took out his gloves from his pocket. Take the pen holder in your hand and admire it.

The more he looked at it, the more astonishment intensified in his eyes. Finally, he raised his head and asked, "Is this Jiang Chunbo's real handiwork?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "There is an agarwood pen holder by Jiang Chunbo in the collection of the Forbidden City, although the content of the carving is not the same, but the style is consistent, and the style of the style is also completely consistent. Summarizing all aspects of the appearance, it can be confirmed that this is indeed a work of Jiang Chunbo, and it can even be regarded as a precious work among his many works. ”

At this time, Meng Hongchang opened his mouth and asked: "What kind of material is used for this tube, it looks like agarwood, but it shouldn't be possible for agarwood to have such a high hardness and density, right?"

Zhang Jingqiang shook his head: "Wrong, ordinary agarwood may not work, but earth agarwood can achieve such an effect, but it is quite rare." ”

"Agarwood?" Meng Hongchang looked a little confused.

Meng Zitao explained: "The soil agarwood here is not what we generally call the soil agarwood, but after the agarwood enters the soil, it tends to crystallize after tens of millions of years, and it has a good hardness and density. As a result, the work has an unprecedented level of engraving precision. ”

Speaking of this, he wanted to go over the pen holder and point out some features on the pen holder: "From these subtle features, it can be clearly judged that this is a work made of earth agarwood made of zuò, and it is also a piece of earth agarwood with high fragrance crystallinity, so this brings the possibility of infinite fine carving." ”

Meng Hongchang nodded slightly, and then took the pen holder and carefully appreciated it.

At this time, Zhang Jingqiang asked curiously: "How much did this tube cost?"

"Sixty-six thousand. Meng Zitao smiled and gestured a six-character gesture.

Zhang Jingqiang looked up to the sky and sighed: "People are really angry compared to people, when encountering elevator failures, you can actually pick up five or six million such a big leak, you luck, I don't know what words to use to describe it." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "No way, who made me lucky?"

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Don't say it, you have invited this meal today!"

"No problem......"

Next, Meng Zitao took out the other two things, but these two things are relatively ordinary, and compared with the pen holder, they are nothing at all, and Zhang Jingqiang is not interested in it at all. (To be continued.) )
